Margaret Martin Death record: Cause of Death Query?
« on: Friday 02 February 24 22:13 GMT (UK) »
Margaret Martin Died on 10th September 1901 at 84 Antrim Street (Lisburn, Antrim) Ireland.

I think secondary cause of death is Gall Stones 2 months certified but can anyone advise what the primary cause of death says?

Chronic bright ? as in Bright's disease? There's a "b" on the entry above for birth, for comparison.
That was what I saw first, but I'm not positive.
he made his "s's" differently.

you'd expect the next line to say "1 year's duration", but I'm forcing it. "duration" is hard to make out.

Slightly enlarged image.

First word does appear to be Chronic.

In the larger version (thanks, Eyesee), I think I can make the word after 'year' out as Jaundice.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

You can get jaundice if a gallstone passes out of the gallbladder into the bile duct and blocks the flow of bile.

And I think the chronic condition might be Bright, as oldohiohome suggested. This lady was a Barber's widow, and allowing for faint writing and/or copying, there is some similarity between the first letters. Certainly the rest of the word would fit with that.
