My 3xGt Grandfather died in The Cholera Hospital at Vauxhall Road in Liverpool on 8th Aug 1849. (got cert) The burial for him was on the 7th Oct 1849 (acc to Burial records on Ancestry in St Martin in the Field Free Parochial Cemetery) Would they leave it so long before burial when he died of something so infectious? Where on earth would they keep the bodies if they did leave it so long. On the 7th Oct there were 31 burials from the Cholera Hospital. The cert I have has him aged 36 which would match mine but the informant was I presume the Matron of the hospital so I cant be certain its the right person. His wife was a widow on the 1851 census & this is the only one I can find that matches. The Burial also has him age 36 so that looks like its the same person.
I would have thought that Cholera victims would be buried as soon as possible.
