Just to add I have just looked at Yelvertoft burials from 1813-1880's.

No mention of any diseases.

None mentioned in Burials for Clay Coton, Winwick, Wilby either.

Clay Coton 1813-1963 (Big gaps in burials)
Wilby 1813-1921
Winwick 1813-1991 (Also big gaps in burials.)

I have the deaths of a husband and wife, Northampton 1832 Feb 15th (buried 22nd) and March 24th (buried 29th) - in the family vault at College Street Chapel burial yard.  Sounds suspiciously like an epidemic - but what?

Just found two in Corby 1890 Scarlatina (how it is spelt).

My Great Grandmother Emma Sophia Flawn died on the 24th September 1897 of Enteric Fever which I understand is another name for Typhoid.  Her Death Certificate states she died at Rushden.  A neighbour, Thomas Waite also died at about the same time of Typhoid Fever, I believe in Little Addington where they both lived.

I've just received a death certificate which may add to this list (is it still running?)

32 year old William Claypole (originally from Great Easton and Finedon) died April 20th 1865 from Smallpox - lasted 5 days.

I do have a query though:

The Registration District is declared as Northampton Union
His address: 41 Arthur Street, Kingsthorpe.

Does this signify anything to do with Northampton Union Workhouse?

All Registration Districts were based on the Poor Law Unions, nothing to do with Workhouses.

The setting up of Registration Districts is covered in Section VII of the !836 Act which you can see at  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0mvp/
