Bill,

I cannot help you with Kwartier, neither with the mother's cause of
death,
but the child's cause of death should probably read "zwakheid"
meaning "weakness" or alike.
Is there a place on the net where we could have a look at (of course a
scanned copy of) the original record?

Regards,
Bert IJff
