Death at Shooter's Hill.
« on: Saturday 23 June 18 19:49 BST (UK) »
George Frederick Bury died, aged 13, at Shooter's Hill, Kent, in August or early September 1845.  This is puzzling to me, because his family came from Liverpool, but had recently moved to Buckinghamshire.  Which is still a fair distance away, and I can't think of any Kent connection. 

Can anyone say if there was a hospital at Shooter's Hill around that time, please?

The Brook (fever) hospital came later.

It's very near to woolwich, was it a maritime/dockyard  family?

There was also The Herbert, a military hospital, but again it was later - after the Crimean War.  There weren't many hospitals this early especially outside of London.

If I am following the correct family I can't find them in Liverpool or having recently moed to Bucks???

Is this his baptism?
George Frederick Bury
born 21 Oct 1831
Baptized at St Mary Walton on the Hill Lancs 5 Dec 1831
Parents Edward & Priscilla Susan Bury

it seems he was brought back to his birth place for burial
Burial no 1548 at Walton on the Hill Lancashire
George Frederick Bury age 13
died at Shooters Hill Kent

was he maybe at a school in Aspley Guise Bedfordshire in 1841???

Interesting - looks as if his mother died in Thornton Heath, Surrey (near Croydon) in 1872
