Hi sorry this is almost 3 months since the programme was shown, but I had recorded it and only got round to watching it tonight. It was about the research and reconstruction of the skeleton of a young woman who had been disinterred from Crossbones cemetery in London. To cut a long story short she had suffered from syphilis and had probably had caught it between the ages of 9 and 16. They had an archavist look into the death and burial records of the period that looked most likely. They thought that the most likely person was 19 year old Elizabeth Mitchell who had died on 22 August 1851 at St Thomas hospital of pnuemonia. It was a really sad but very interesting story; I don't know if it will ever be repeated but if you get the chance please try and see it.
I think they would have looked and would have mentioned it if they'd have found her, but I was wondering if she was on the 1841 or 1851 censuses in Southwark or a nearby borough?
