Hello
Thank you for your interesting and helpful suggestions. There must have been very many health risks for young children in those days.
After sending my original posting I discovered that Charlotte and Charles buried another two children 11 years later in January 1865 (a second child named George aged 4 and Lucy 18 months).
The good news is that their remaining five children lived very long lives, Elam Ward being the longest, aged 96.
Many thanks again,
Lesley
