Sorry for starting a new thread but just sussed how to scan and am posting the copy of death cert - Ivy kindly replied to my last thread HELP WITH DEATH CERTIFICATE and suggested Typhoid Fever

--The scan magnifies it a lot so as more heads are better than mine please see what you think Edwards cause of death was aged just 9
(link to photobucket below)

Ive did two as I darkened one to see if words would come clearer one

Many Thanks in advance

Poor little devil, seems to have a list of stuff but major one says Typhoid.

I could make out Perforation of bowel and
Peritonitis but the top part stumped me

As soon as Ivy mentioned typhoid fever I could make that fit -- Its just that I thought I could make out the words Bappitoid Cleaner/ Salpitoiel Ebearen Bryptioid Elearen

I feel daft now as I didnt think of Typhoid Fever

I dont even know what it is but I'll have a read up on it and as with every certificate that arrives I always feel closer to my ancestors. Ive shared their joys of birth and marriage but when this came I almost felt as if I was intruding on the grief

Strange feelings and an emotional journey

Thanks everyone - much appreciated
