Hello all,
I have uploaded an image of part of a death certificate in the hope someone can help decipher an entry. It is only the part I am having problems with as I'm not sure what the rules are on posting a complete certificate when it comes to copyright issues.
The death is for William Stephen (registered as Steven) on 10th August 1877 in Thurso. The man was married to Christina Young, daughter of George Young and Isabel Fairweather: William was the son of Alexander Steven/Stephen and Margaret/May Rosie.
The problem I have is with the informant on the death certificate - John Young. He isn't related to the widow, Christina, but I can't make out what the "qualification" (as the term on the certificate is) of the informant is.
Can anyone help me, and offer suggestions or confirmation of what the word is? The image can be seen at the following site...

Thanks in advance for any help,
Steven
