I have a copy of a death certificate for a John Albert Supple, died 5Aug1849. I am having difficulty reading part of the "cause of death" section.
The attachment is just the section, the whole certificate was too big and reducing its size made it less readable.
My transcription of it reads:
Consumption, Some years.
Cholera, six days.
Secondary, ?? fever three days.
Certified.
The question is what is the ??. I think it looks like "16", but I can't see how that makes sense.
While I think I've got the rest of it correctly I'd also appreciate any corrections if anyone thinks otherwise.
