Cause of death only. Death. 13 September 1893. Thomas Mitche

[b1b2j3]

My G G aunt, Margaret Wares Muir (her maiden name), married Thomas Mitchell. He was a Flesher Butcher in Glasgow. He died on 13 September 1893 at Greenock Asylum. I cannot work out what he died from. Bother me I cannot. (Muir married Thomas Mitchell then married George Hamilton)

Here are my references. Please xcuse. html awful. I can attach a little file, without GROS copright. Um, apparently I cannot. How do I do this?

Hi b1b2j3

I can attach a little file, without GROS copright. Um, apparently I cannot. How do I do this?

You need to use a site such as http://www.photobucket.com just now. Our gallery is currently out of action.
If you can upload the file to photobucket, then paste the image URL here, we will be able to have a look at it and should be able to help with the cause of death.

Best wishes

Hi, Where did you get the above address? Here is a site with information about the Greenock Asylum/poorhouse. http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html ... nock.shtml One of my relatives died there.

Hello b1b2j3,

If you can’t read the Registrar’s writing on the certificate maybe the “Thirty-ninth Detailed Annual Report of Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Scotland” will help. Page 58 and thereabouts has a County breakdown of causes of death for the year 1893. http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/Pag ... 118&zoom=4

Hope that’s useful,
Alan
