It is amazing how much emotion you feel when reading about ancestors isn't it.

Christine, you just beat me to it! My ggg grandma died of the same.

I've also got "death from drowning while mentally unstable" (i.e. suicide), and "crushed by a coal wagon which left the rails". Very sad.

One of my Direct Ancestors - in the 1850's........

......he got hit by a carriage on London Bridge !

I'd guess that he'd had a couple of drinks that day.
