    Yes!

    Phthisis (pronounced tysis) pulmonary

    means TB of the lungs

        "Phthisis pulmonale 18 months, cerified by Robert Selby, the surgeon who *** deceased"

        S/he has had TB of the lungs for 18 months. It looks like the death was certified by the surgeon, Robert Selby, but i can't read one of the words - has the scan missed the begining of the word I've ***ed?

          Pulmonary TB was a very common killer in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

              I think the missing bit is "last saw"

                  Ah, yes. Merry's got younger eyes than me! lol

                  Definately a dreadful disease in those days. Used to be called 'consumption' - because it consumed the body, presumably. Thank heavens - yet again - for the NHS and modern science, despite our moans and concerns about them.

                    Another one if you don't mind - I can read the first two, but what is the third cause of death? Poor wee boy was only 10 months old :(

                          That's intriguing - as if he had some kind of allergy?

                                  Strumous diathesis, I think. It appears to relate to swollen glands (thyroid?)
