  • Help reading a death certificate

    Thanks to advice on an earlier post I have found a death certificate for a child from Scotland in 1910.
    On the register that you can see before using tokens to look at the certificate it says age at death 0. On the certificate it says 11 and something I cant read. I know its not years but can anyone help. I cant find the birth. This is from Scotlands People

    Thank you

    Could it be Months (Mths). This would make the child 11 Months old and thus, under a year when it died which would show as 0 on an index.

      That sounds about right thank you. I should have thought about it but sometimes the brain gets full of lots of information

        Bear in mind it could be an abbreviation for weeks or days also.

          it could be written as 11mo or 11/12 which means 11 months out of 12. Sometimes it can also be written as 11.5m which would mean 11 and a half months. Hope this helps.

            It is so hard to read. Whatever it is it was too young to pass away with measles.
            Thank you all

              Can you post the image? Or a snippet? I've always struggled with the handwriting on the scots registers.

                    Thank you. I could not find a birth, but I think you are right
