These two ladies died within hours of each other but under strange circumstance

I don't know the full relation of these two. I know that they are either sisters or mother and daughter but as for how they are related to me? I don't know. I know they are atleast Great x 3 whatever relation they are to me. A doctor was called to the house after the owner found one lady dead. I don't know if the doctor ever left or not but the other lady was found around three to four hours later. The signature on the death certificate is supposed to be from the same doctor but the latter signature is very shaky. One certifiate claims "natural causes with tuberculosis as a factor" but I don't remember what the other one said. We (The family) thinks it's strange because the doctor's handwriting appears to be shaky only a few hours after signing the first certificate. Of course there are a number of reasons this could be, but who knows? I don't remember everything that was on the certificate and these were relatives that were born before my great great grandfather for sure. This was also information we gathered via ancestry.com whereas the first I told of was word of mouth.

The big piece of info I'd like to know is why the doctors hand writing was shakiy the second time around. We won't be able to tell that unless we go back in time. Unfortunately, that isn't a possibility.

That does sound very strange. Maybe you will find out more later.

I agree, it does sound very strange and suspicious! Maybe more investigation will happen!

@ScribbledAdNauseum But why would the doctor be shaken up? I'm sure the doctor has seen deaths as the doctor signs certificates right though?

@infatuatedbby I am not sure. I have theories, one of which is that it were two different people entirely. I didn't see the signatures personally but have heard about it from my grandfather who is doing the research. I *think* these ladies were living in the early 1800's

Very weird indeed. You will probably never know.

I remember there being some show on channel 9 KCTS where genelogist and history people would look at something in a family's history for someone and try to figure it out. I don't know if it's still on. It's almost like the exact solution to this.

I suppose knowing someone from the doctor's ancestry might help. It would help us find out if the dotor had anything medically wrong, or it might atleast. Do you remember the name of the show? I think it would be something I'd like to watch.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Sorry, I don't, but if you do a web search, you might be able to find it. It's definitely interesting to watch.
