573; Mary Amy BUCKLEY, died aged 7 months, from "Teething". I've never heard of that before. Have I mis-read it?

No, I have been going through numerous civil death notices in Aberdeen around 1900 and in many cases the cause of death for babies is giving as "teething" or even "dentition". As most of us know, a teething baby is often miserable, feverish with a runny tummy. Perhaps when the official asked the parent if the baby had been unwell, they replied that the baby had been teething, therefore given as reason of death. Another common cause of death in the elderly is given as "senile decay". Sometimes the deceased was only in their 50's! I may be weird, but I find it extremely interesting going through the death notices. A lot can be deduced as to the way of life of people in those times - the saddest is when you pick up that more than 1 baby or child from a family die very close together or when mother's and baby's death notices appear one after the other.
