I have thought further about this certificate: Premature separation of the placenta from the uterus is known as "abruptio placentae". Now this is something which could be transcribed from a doctor's handwriting by a registrar of deaths, and look very like "abduction". In modern obstetrics, this is a most dangerous condition, with a very low percentage of saved babies, and a high risk of maternal death, despite the availability of urgent caesarian section and blood transfusion. In the nineteenth century, I would expect death of mother and babe. John Fisher
