Death certificate 1872 - cause of death - some help with interpretation please!

Thanks Josey, I was a midwife and Gadget says she has worked with many maternity records.

I think that Josey knows that I worked with the Obs & Gynae staff on the Aberdeen Maternity Records Database which covered 30 years of births in Aberdeenshire. I think it's still being used for research purposes. We spoke about it a few years ago.

Oh that would have been interesting Gadget.

It was, Lizzie. We linked up whole families - 1940s to 1970s. We had 3 generations at the end. I learned so much in my time there. I used to sit in on consultations and in theatre as well as all the records and topping up with trips to many of the  Aberdeenshire Registars' offices.
