Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Smallpox in the New Forest, c1871
« on: Thursday 06 January 05 22:14 GMT (UK) »
I recently obtained the death certificate of Fred Hayter, the brother of my GGGG grandfather. He died in Totton, Eling in 1871 at age 16 and the cause of death is VARIOLA ASTHEMA, which I assume is a respiratory complication of smallpox (Variola).
I was wondering if Fred's illness was part of a greater outbreak of smallpox in the area and whether anyone has any information on this.
Thanks
