Help with reading cause of death on Death Cert Please
« on: Thursday 06 July 23 20:51 BST (UK) »
Can anyone let me know what the cause of death says please?

(Hopefully enough of the cert shown, but not too much for GRO copyright)

Thanks

Could you please give the date please so we can see if it is an older complaint expressed differently to what we say now

Also pl advise the wording of the column heading.   
 


Sort of looks like Alous or Alons and i thought of Alois Alzheimer?

I wonder if the second word is Folicula.    The first letter is not a T see next column.

Thanks for looking , the date is 1874.
The columns are occupation, (Ostler)
cause of death, and informant.
He was in and out of the Sick Asylum a lot for the year or so before his death, and was last discharged a few days before he died.

Well it seems to say Alous Soluba, but I can’t find online help as to what that would have meant.

I think the second word is Soluta, which no-one seems to have suggested yet? It means 'loosened', 'freed', 'released'. But I haven't identified the first word, or the full phrase.

But the Lead letter of the second word does not look like the "S" of Sick Asylum

The top, the foot and the slope of the two are very similar. The initial hook is different, but that may be because the S of Sick is closely preceded by another word (The). But I wouldn't want to push it without knowing what the first word or the whole phrase might be, and nothing has been found yet.

I don't think the first letter is F because it has nothing resembling a crossbar through the downstroke. There aren't enough pen-strokes for Folicula, Sollicita etc. (unless mis-spelt).
