Embedded Files
The fact that three members of this family died within six months suggests that they may have succumbed to the second wave of cholera, which occurred in 1848. The burial record for Hook indicates that the unnamed Nephew may have been Edwin Jackson, who was buried in Hook on 13th March 1848, aged 10 years.
