Impressive list, congratulations on all your hard work already.

Out of interest are you also looking for things that we would now suspect were infections even though they might not have been recognised at the time?

I've just acquired a death certificate (admittedly a woman who died in Leicester but who actually lived in Northamptonshire). The cause of death in enteritis which is a fairly nonspecific term but which could be an infectious disease such as typhoid or cholera. They had no knowledge of the specific bacteriological causes then

Cheers Alan

I think something like that could be included, as you say the cause of the enteritis could be something that was 'going around'. But I prefer to stick to deaths that happened in Northamptonshire.

Hi Marilyn

Yes, I recognised that. As it happens, this woman (one of my Crane family) just happened to be visiting her daughter in Leicester from Cottingham in early September. My most recent researches have shown me that the town had an epidemic of "summer diarrhoea" every August and September - which my reading of the papers leads me to believe it was an E coli (ie burger) enteritis. They had 2000+ deaths a year!

Cheers Alan
