Oh! . . . . no . . . . I'll check! I have checked the certificate and you could well be right! The certificate is a copy and not handwritten the word definately starts with 'Phth' and ends with an 's'. The missing letters could well be 'isi'. Oh dear, I have cast a great shadow on my great grandfather, wondering what he had been up to!!! Thankyou Janice. |

Are you sure it's phthirus and not phthisis which is TB? Janice |

The cause of death of an ancestor of mine, in 1898, was Phthirus . . . pubic lice, commonly known as crabs! I am surprised that somebody could actually die from this. |
