Your probably right there. Certainly doesnt sound good, it says he had it for 8 months as well, must have been a slow, painful death. Claire

Thank you both for this information. I am guessing it should say lumina then, but it definately has a 2nd L towards the end of the word. I appreciate both your time. Claire

Hi , Luminol is a drug used to treat epilepsy these days. Think its been around for a while.Could have been a side effect of treatment. Hope this helps x

Hi. I have just viewed the image of my ancestors death record on Scotlandspeople (thank you Maureen and Mhairi the other day with your advise on this site) and cannot understand the cause of death. Two words, 2nd definately abscess but cannot read the first. It looks like Lumalan but I have never heard of this and google brings up nothing. Has anyone ever heard of any time of abscess that this could be? Kind Regards, Claire
