Epilepsy - the Henderson curse
Epilepsy is prevalent in the family and has affected five generations. On the right is a burial certificate for my great-uncle Joseph Henderson. Sadly, he died at the age of 23 and the cause of death is given as "Apoplexy" - indicating a seizure. It is unknown if the epilepsy follows the Henderson or Courtney line prior to presenting itself in Joseph. In all, six of the Henderson family have had epilepsy. |
