Epidemic 1838 St Helier
« on: Thursday 05 April 12 01:52 BST (UK) »
I Have three young children from one family who died in February 1838.

Was there an epidemic at that time in St. Helier.?

Thanks  :(

I'm not sure of specific dates but there were several outbreaks of cholera,  the Jersey Archive site refers to one in 1832.
