Hello,
While researching the Hale side of my family I came across the burials in November 1854 of three of the four children of Charlotte Hale (1827 - 1907) and Charles Ward (1822 - 1886). The three who died were George 8, Eliza 6 and Charles 3. The only survivor was 5 month old Cornelius.
Does anyone know if there was an outbreak of typhoid or cholera or any other disease that would have such a devasating effect on the children of the family at that time? They lived in Joyford.
Many thanks
Lesley
such outbreaks ( and influenza) were very common place :-(
