Surrey / Re: Burial of three Burch siblings on same day - cause of death?
« on: Thursday 13 June 13 18:35 BST (UK) »
There's nothing on the register to indicate cause of death, just that they are all "of St Thomas's". Interestingly there are 11 burials on the 20th, which is far more than usual at that time. There are only about 3 or 4 burials each day noted in the register in the weeks before and after. And to confirm what Groom said, 6 of those 11 were 5 years old or under, 2 were in their teens and the remaining three were in their 40s or early 50s. Unhealthy place Southwark.
