Norfolk / Unusual number of Infant deaths 1800 - 1801 Stanhoe, Norfolk
« on: Saturday 08 September 18 08:14 BST (UK) »
Hi
On tracing my family tree I came across a sibling of an ancestor Ann Walker 1793-1801, Stanhoe, Norfolk. She died aged 8, not, unfortunately, unusual for that time, but also listed in the Bishop Transcripts were 10 other burials in the a 12 month period and 7 of them were children, ranging from 0 to 12.
This struck me as an usually high proportion, and left me wondering if there was an illness, or epidemic in Norfolk at this time - any thoughts, or suggestions were I could possible find out?
Cheers Karen

Norfolk / Unusual number of Children's Death - Stanhoe, Norfolk 1800-1801
« on: Saturday 08 September 18 08:06 BST (UK) »
Hi
On tracing my family tree I came across an entry for a sibling of an ancestor of mine.
Her name was Ann Walker and she died aged 8 in 1801, not so unusual at that time, but also listed in the same 12 month period were 10 burials, 7 of them children ranging from 0 to 12 years old, in Stanhoe, Norfolk. This isn't a very large place today and I don't think it was back then.
This struck me as strange, so many children, so I wondered if there could have been any illnesses etc. at that time and where I could investigate it further?

Thanks for all your help, it turned out the error was with me! I had worked out her age from the census, then had got that mixed up with GRO. Lesson learnt - check check and check again

Northamptonshire / Non-conformist Baptist Records Clipston For Harriet Buswell 1823
« on: Saturday 21 July 18 23:06 BST (UK) »
This kind of leads on from a previous post re Gravestones / GRO records. I believe it is likely that Harriet Buswell belonged to the Baptist Church in Clipston. Does anybody know if it is possible to get these records or can access them so that I can source her parents as Elizabeth and William Buswell, also potentially of Clipston.
Information that I have sources for
Harriet Buswell married Edward Buswell in 1845.
Edward was from Clipston.
They had three children
Louisa 1845-1933
Julia 1847-1852
Walter 1849
The children were all born in Creaton.
Harriet died in 1850.
The reason I think William and Elizabeth may be her parents is that there is a gravestone in Clipston Baptist church, which mentions a daughter of a similar age 27, who died the same year 1950. The GRO has her at 29 at her death.
Many thanks

Hi
I have a relative - Harriet / Harriot Buswell who died 1n 1850 aged 27 , registered in the Brixworth District, according to the GRO. However I have also found a grave stone for her in the Baptist Cemetery in Clipston, which says she is 29 years old.
The reason I think this may be the one and the same person is that I have found a marriage registration for her to Edward Buswell, (they both have the same surname, as I checked on the GRO's mothers maiden name for their 3 children) he was born in Clipston. She died just after the birth of her third child, and her husband remarried several years later - thereby perhaps being buried with her parents?
(She married Edward in 1845, registered in Market Harborough)
I found an 1841 census record for a Harriet Buswell with George Rowlson, Alice Rowlson and a Henry Buswell. Further searching on Alice Rowlson on the 1851 census identified her as the aunt of Henry Buswell, so perhaps she is the sister or aunt of Harriet. Both Henry and Alice were born in Clipston.
So I am wondering if I have found the names of Harriet's parents - or is there any easier way to do this?
many thanks
