If anybody out there has an odd cause of death on a death certificate that they need clarifying go to http://freepages(.)genealogy(.)rootsweb(.)com/~tiber/ and click on The Historical Register 1720 as they have some explanations as to their equivalents these days. They're also quite amusing ie. St Anthonys Fire! There are also links to other sites Jeanette

Jeanette Thanks for that - very interesting! While I was there, I took a look at the Victorian Advertisements. I particularly liked the Tricycle skates and the Victorian version of the exercise cycle - an exercise horse! Janet
