Guernsey Cholera Burial Ground

[margaret103]

Hi,

Does anyone know exactly where the burial Ground was for the victims of Cholera and/or Leprosy in Guernsey. Would it be somewhere near Maladerie Road, St. Sampsons?

Regards,
Margaret

Hi,

There was one in 1832 and another about 1849.

That's interesting because my gggrandfather returned to St Oeter Port to visit his family with his Channel Island wife in the 1840s and died there.The record office when I went on a visit only had his death recorded but no certificate.Hus wife returned to London with young son.

There is a list of all the people who died in the cholera outbreak in Guernsey, I found my great great grandmother on there Henrietta Sophia Kaines.  I do have a newspaper clipping with the announcement of her death which was recorded as consumption which it says she'd suffered with for many years.
My guess is that the cholera mixed with her consumption was not a good match and she died.  I suppose that it was less painful to admit she'd died of a long term illness than cholera.  She was only in her 27 when she died and left four young children behind her.
I think I found the list on the Jerripedia site, here is all their information regarding cholera in the islands https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=cholera&go=Go
