Cause of Death on Scottish RCE
« on: Thursday 12 January 23 15:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help decipher the cause of death, please.
The death is registered in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in 1876.

The only words I'm certain of are......overindulgence in drink  (bless her :'( )

Looby :)

Thank you so much, Jen B.
Well done, especially with the scrawl after "drink" - I had no clue what that said. But know you've told me I can see the words!
Poor soul - I reckon the deceased must have been found outside on the street.

Looby :)
