This morning I finally received two pdf certificates for Horace Lennan Willats

His birth certificate.

And his death certificate.

Cause of death – From compression of the brain due to haemorrhage inside the skull caused by accidental wounds to the head from the premature bursting of a grenade whilst engaged in bombing practice on December 17 1916.

I have updated all information to his 52 weeks, 52 Ancestors post which can be found here.

I find death certificates absolutely fascinating but there does seem to be rather a few deaths to do with the brain but mostly the heart, but I’ll go into that on a different day.

Have a good day and I hope to see you back here soon.
