Hello all,
just inquiring
Both my GRT x 3 paternal grandparents both died not long after each other in 1810. I know there were loads of disease's   going around but could there have been an epidemic around this time. They were both living in Brailsford.

You would need to look at the parish records to see if there was a "spike" in the number of deaths in the area that year. Even today though, it is not uncommon for an elderly married couple to pass within a short period of each other.
