    BMD Certificates
    DC: Nessworthy, Susannah (1917)
    DC: Nessworthy, Susannah (1917)
    Matriarch of the Nessworthy family of North Shields, she moved to Aberdeen to live with her daughter Mary and family about 1900. Wrongly described on this certificate as the widow of James, her partner Robert was correctly documented (as parents) on Mary's death certificate two years later.
    The reverse of the certificate is endorsed as follows: "Register of Corrected Entries. In the fourth column of Entry No 134 in the Register Book of Deaths for the year 1917, for "76" substitute "73". The above correction is made under the direction and by the written authority of the Sheriff in consequence of the Deposition dated 19th February 1917 of Henry Wait, the informant of the Death to which the said entry related."
