Hello Alison,

That's a curious certificate. I have several from around the same date and they only have four columns after the Age column.

I can make out a lot but I'm making no progress with the bit you want.

Regards,

Dave

think say cause of death child birth not sure about words under that or in next collumn can just about make out words church yard!

 

[DaveHam9]

I can't even read the month of death or the month of registration or the place of death.

Cause of death looks like:
Child B..

As medical
Attendant

and next column looks like:

Fm Church
David Grant ....
As certified by
Stephen .....
..... Grant

 

[Alison]

think it says baby died antenatal. Place of death is back street renton, cardross/ date 13th jan 1857.

 

[DaveHam9]

Registration date is 14th but registration month does not look like January but I suppose it is.

I can see Ship Yard Labourer.

What is the heading of the column after Cause of Death?

The Cause of Death column has:

Cause of Death
Duration
(certified by)...

This is my interpretation...

Price Bridget, married, wife of a shipyard labourer 1857 November 13th
Bank St. Renton Cardoss f.20years
-----------
Martin Kean shipyard labourer
H...Kean maiden name Price
-------------
Child bed
No medical attendant
-----------
from Church
David Gr...
as .... by
Stephen ...
....? family ground ???
----------------------
Martin Kean.. father..X his mark
....?
Robert.......??? registrar
witness
------------------
1857 November 14th
P.t? Cardross
Robert .....
registrar

I agree with most of that Joan. Looking at the one below it looks like a B for Burial Ground and not D for David Grant. I agree it's November not January.

Price Bridget, married, wife of a shipyard labourer 1857 November 13th
Bank St. Renton Cardoss f.20years
-----------
Martin Kean shipyard labourer
H...Kean maiden name Price
-------------
Child B..

Correction, yes it looks more like Burial not David.
Got my magnifying glass out...redf)

In days of yore.. a woman "went to bed" when she was giving birth/in labor.

People would ask the question,"when do you go to bed", meaning, when are you due to give birth.

No great help but I think the registrar's surname is Buchannan and the "Martin Kean father his mark" has the word Informant abbreviated in brackets.

Buchanan is a possibility. I wonder if the same registrar appears on the rest of the page. With most of the deaths I have I've been lucky to get the registrar's name not from the end of each entry but from the entry at the foot of the page.

RENTON, a village, in the parish of Cardross, county of Dumbarton...

...In the village are places of worship for members of the Free Church,..

Free Church
Burial Ground ... ?

as ... ? by
Stephen ... ?
... ? Ground


I've seen Old Burying Ground, New Burying Ground, Stranger Ground but I can't make this one out. My GGG grandmother:

Dunfermline Abbey Interments
Mrs Sands of East Port St - Age 72 - Died 24 Aug 1856 of Influenza and buried 27 Aug 1856 Stranger Ground No 3 8th room centre plot.

Free Church Burial ground Chad
As blessed... by Stephen P gle ?
A.ste.d.ty ground
redf) just going through all the possibilities...

That's why I asked if that column had a heading. I think it should include at least the name of one witness to the burial. The column headings give clues to the content and layout of the info.

The ...From Church makes no sense but Free Church Burial Ground does.

I have no idea which column is which.
I just saved and printed a copy, and enlarged it enough to read the letters
with a magnifying glass without it getting blurry. I don't know what the column heading is...

 

[Alison]

Heading is burial place undertaker, or other person by whom certified

Thank you all, think it prob is Free church burial ground Renton. Allthough not sure where that is exactly in 1857. Dont live to far from here so will visit the library n see what I can find out. I did have a contact in the local council a few years ago and enquired about burial place of Martin Kane and Hannah Pryce but they were apparently burried in an unmarked poupers grave with a load of others and the location was unrecorded so just assumed all the Kanes of that time would be the same situation!
