Hi Janice ....and is that condition linked to coma then ?? , thats actually a good shout , thankyou , it does make sense , its like the inability to carry on living or wanting to live and exhaustion from lack of nourishment ....hard to believe for someone from knowle its an affluent area . ....thankyouI guessed INANITION.
When I looked it up it is exhaustion caused by a lack of nutrients. Apparently can be caused by starvation amongst other things.
If you look the word up you will get some medical references.
I have consulted with he good lady who says the word is “inanition”. Its an old medical term not used today for severe weakness and wasting as occurs from lack of food or nourishment.Hi I have a death certificate that I’m trying to understand and not my family but it’s bugging me , what is the word before coma please , I can’t make it out View attachment 168910
You are right yes demographics change , and people and money move around .Knowle is an affluent area now, but wasn't necessarily in 1896; there are still a lot of small 19th-century artisan's cottages around. By way of comparison, Castle Bromwich was, at least in the 1970s, considered relatively upmarket, but the house we lived in, though now thoroughly modernised, had been a simple farm-worker's cottage, and even when we bought it in 1973 it didn't have a bathroom or an indoor toilet.
