Mark1959 Posted 10 October , 2019 Share Posted 10 October , 2019 The important thing about one Regan fold3 record https://www.fold3.com/image/643058658?xid=1022 is it has as a header "Naval Pensions to Widows of Men whose death is attributable to warlike operations" The other card is https://www.fold3.com/image/669476358?xid=1022 - widow and children's details Can find his naval record on ancestry but not on FMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little bob Posted 10 October , 2019 Share Posted 10 October , 2019 Find my Past records for Royal Naval Seaman only starts in 1899. So any seaman who enlisted before 1899 will not show up. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museumtom Posted 10 October , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 October , 2019 (edited) That helps a great deal, yes indeed Brights Disease is a kidney problem, thank you Dai and Bob!. Edited 10 October , 2019 by museumtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 10 October , 2019 Share Posted 10 October , 2019 1 hour ago, little bob said: Would that be Brights Disease ? Bob Not exactly synonymous, but both are kidney diseases. Bright's disease was described in the days before fancy renal function tests, but described signs like protein or blood in the urine with peripheral fluid retention. Specific inflammation of different parts of the kidney, like the glomerular apparatus, or the interstitial tissue surrounding it, has a specific appearance on microscopy, so they get labelled as glomerulonephritis or interstitial nephritis. The end result will be similar, a degree of renal failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
