I received this weekend a death certificate from 1875, the cause of death is listed as "Cronic catarrh of the Bladder" never heard of this one before, can anyone shed any light?

Nicky

P.S. Also though the death is registered as surname FURNESS, on the certificate it has FURNEYS under the name and surname section and FURNYS under the occupation section, is it worth contacting GRO for a replacement, i`m never quite sure if these are copied from original entry by hand, or photocopied in which case the original actually had mispelt the name in the first place.

Catarrh of the bladder; urine contains large quantities of mucus and pus, severe tenesmus, especially in old people.

Chronic just means that they suffered from that ailment for some time.

Sam, thanks for that, though she was actually only 49, so not that old.
