Heather, I remember laughing my socks off reading that thread. I remember the cart of feathers but what was so odd was that other people rode home in the cart and left that poor person drunk in feathers! Another favourite was the person who fell in a ditch and refuse to get out! Although explosive drinking was pretty good as well. My family all seem to have very ordinary causes of death on the certificates I have ordered so far but I live in hope! Louise |

Where is that brilliant thread from about 6 months back about causes of death. My favourite still has to be the one who suffocated in a cart load of feathers. |

This is the longest Cause of Death I have ever encountered: 'Hypostatic Pneumonia due to compound comminuted fracture of right femur, fracture of left radius and double fracture of the jaw and fracture of skull sustained on the 30th August 1949 when the motor cycle on which deceased was riding came into collision with another motor cycle on the Admington-Mickleton Lane at Admington. (Misadventure)' |

Teeth! That's what it says...she died of Teeth aged 11 months. Apparantly something to do with poor hygiene meant that a lot of babies died from infections picked up as a result of open gums whilst teething! Lou |

'Accidentally killed by a locomotive at Hebburn Colliery whilst trespassing!' What was he doing?? Scavenging for coal? Taking a shortcut home? Don’t suppose I’ll ever know. Brenda |
