Thanks for your research Anne! I had a notion that that is what pulmonary phthisis was, but lacked your thoroughness to confirm it. I thought that the reference also to exhaustion in the case of my G grandmother's death reflected a hard life of poverty, bearing and raising 6 kids in the gold country, but perhaps it was just the effects of the disease.

Murray, What is interesting that on my grt grt aunt's death certificate it give the cause of death and then says for how long she had been ill which in her case was 5 months - what about your G grandmother how long had she been ill before she died?

Hi, anne, Just back from Gosford spending four fun-packed days repainting and renovating a town house. Was it hot! There were 267 emails waiting for me - don't the Vic High Country people ever go on holidays? My g grandmother had been ill for 1 year.

Heavens Murray - I hope you were alright - I thought there were pretty terrible fires around Gosford. And no 4 days of painting and renovating does not sound like a good look to me. Also I'm not sure that the Vic High Country people know what a holiday is!!!
