Hi Heather Yes phthisis is pulmonary tuberculosis. The occupation of Printfield is not listed the closest is a printer. The sources i am using are The complete A - Z guide to early occupations and causes of death and old medical terms. Sorry to not be of more help with your occupation. cathy

Could you please look up 'phthisis pulmonatis' which I presume is TB? Also, an occupation called 'printfield ......' - something I can't read. What is your source? Many thanks, Heather

Hi Devonshire Dumpling I have had a look and there are no entries under any of those. If i t is Leather Stripper i would think that was preparing the leather, getting all flesh and hair off, a very smelly job. I have Leather Dressers in my family and its along the same sort of lines. I did have an article about the leather trade and do you think i can find it!! Will keep looking and if i do find it will get back to you. Cathy Have just googled all the choices of occupation and Leather Stripper came back as Leather Dresser - preparer of leather. Let your imagination run on the other hits i got!! Cathy

Hi Laura There is nothing listed for Hypocardial degeneration unfortunately but i would assume its something to do with the heart. Anemia - Occurs when the bloods ability to carry oxygen is reduced. Just going to look for your other one. Cathy

Laura Report 20 Aug 2006 15:27

Hi Cathy, hard to read but hypocardial degeneration I think it says, it was an elderly relative if that helps, it also says profound anaemia. Cheers xx

Hi Dennis Dentition - Cutting eruption of the teeth Congestion - An excessive or abnormal accumulation of blood or other fluid in a body part or blood vessel. In congestive fever the internal organs become gorged with blood. I would have thought then that maybe due to teething the baby suffered blood problems in the brain maybe. hope this helps a bit.
