Leicestershire / 1918 Flu in Leicester
« on: Thursday 24 May 07 09:49 BST (UK) »
My Great Uncle died in the center of Leicester in November 1918 from Flu his widow was the informant on the death certificate and was also in Leicester but the death is registered as a Coventry death . I wondered was the flu very bad in Leicester and so some of the registrations were made by Coventry? I can't think of any other reason at the moment why it is recorded by Coventry as none of the family had any connections with Coventry and the death was in the center of Leicester not in the County on the Coventry side. He is buried at the Welford Road Cemetery.
If anyone knows or has a theory about that I'd be interested to hear.
Thanks,
Martyn
