Cause of death query
« on: Friday 06 January 23 21:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi
looking for advice on the cause of death " Haemorrhage in her ?".
Her 7th child was born in 1872, so I am thinking this has to do with the birth of another child for whom I have found no information.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Haemorrhage in her accouchement.

In other words a haemorrhage during/after childbirth.

'accouchment'

From my computer dictionary:

accouchement |ˌäkoō sh ˈmä n; əˈkoō sh mənt|
noun archaic
the action of giving birth to a baby.

I'm guessing from the French. English 'brought to bed'.

Brilliant, many thanks for your quick replies and explanations.  My approximations of letters weren't good enough to pull up the word!!  I am now assuming the babe did not survive either as I have found no further records. 
As another question (and maybe not the right forum) but is it possible the child would be buried with her?
Have a good day

It may be archaic in the English language, but the word accouchement  and the corresponding verb accoucher are the words used in nowadays French. So you've expanded your knowledge of both English and French. A fantastic way to start 2023 ;D
