Cholera in 1832
« on: Wednesday 18 October 06 14:36 BST (UK) »
The Cholera epidemic that swept Ireland and other European countries in 1832 particularly affected those living in urban areas. Does any know any sources that describe  how Drogheda and Dundalk fared at that time?

Thanks,
Simon

Two articles of interest:

Patricia Duffy, "Cholera in County Louth, 1832-39" in The Journal of the County Louth Archaeological and Historical Society, 1982, pps. 117 - 126
&
Maureen Wilson, "One of the Most Fatal and Calamitous Visitations of Spasmodic Cholera Known in the UK" [The Cholera Epidemic of 1832] in Journal of the Old Drogheda Society, 1986, pps. 27-31

Contact me if you would like photocopies.
