Hello,
I wonder if I could ask for some help with deciphering the handwriting on the attached death certificate from Scotland please?
This is what I've been able to work out myself so far:
John Hughes
Skin Dresser
Widower of Agnes Ferrie
1906, June Thirtieth
9??h 0m am
Royal Asylum Edinburgh
?????? 30 Marlborough Street Glasgow
M
50yrs
John Hughes (deceased)
Mary Hughes M.S. Hughes (deceased)
General Paralysis
duration indefinite
Phthisis Pulmonalis
duration indefinite
?????? (-think this is just the doctor's information which I'm not too bothered about)
M. Savage
Daughter
30 Marlborough Street Glasgow
1906 July 2nd
Edinburgh
John J. ?????? (-not too bothered about this)
As you can see, I've managed to decipher most of it, but the bit I could do with some help with is where he died. I can read Royal Asylum, Edinburgh and something about 30 Marlborough Street, Glasgow - but I'm not sure of the couple of words in between. It seems that his daughter lived in Glasgow so I'm guessing he was in some way connected to 30 Marlborough Street but why he ended up in the asylum in Edinburgh I'm not sure. He was actually born and grew up in Edinburgh, then moved to Liverpool and seemingly ended up in Scotland again after his wife died. I believe asylums kept quite detailed patient records so I have sent off for some information about him to Lothian Health Services Archive. Not expecting anything soon with the coronavirus situation but you never know.
Anyway, if somebody would be able to help me to decipher those couple of words I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance.
