Interesting that George’s cause of death was “paralysis” Ashtone.
We recently had a death certificate for my husband’s great great grandfather from 1906. He too was given the cause of death as “paralysis”.
Looking into it further he had suffered for about ten months and had been placed in an asylum because they didn’t know how to treat this at the time.
Modern day diagnosis is “syphilis”. Part of the streptococcus virus and treated today with penicillin.
Thanks for that extra information.
