Death Certificate Handwriting Help Please
« on: Monday 28 August 23 12:50 BST (UK) »
I need help with the writing on two death certificates please:

The first is the middle word in the cause of death field. It's "Bronchitis ........... Certified". And in the informant field the name of the informant looks like "Milly B..ton".

The second is a badly aligned two row. I can read "wife of" and "the mark of" in the left and right fields, but can't read the top line of the cause of death. It looks like "D......y from".

Any ideas?

Good one. Thanks.

Edit. Hold on, the death certificate was dated 1876, so it must be another Milly Boyton... Sorry, I got the dates mixed up...  ::)
