Isn't the mother the carrier for hemophilia with the males getting the disease? (It was Queen Victoria who was the carrier, I thought.) Liane Fenimore ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandra J Smith To: eng-buckinghamshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 9:12 AM Subject: [ENG-Buck] Haemophilia in Aston Clinton This is a real long-shot in an attempt to discover the father of an illegitimate child..... George Foskett, the illegitimate son of Charlotte Foskett, was born in Aston Clinton in 1845. I have just discovered that four of George's son's died as a result of haemophilia (uncontrolled bleeding). I believe that this disease is passed down the male line, so George's father was probably a carrier. Have any other lister's discovered haemophilia in any other Aston Clinton family?

Thank you to all who replied to this. I obviously got it wrong and the boys inherited the disease from their mother. As yet, I have not discovered any other member of the extended Foskett family with the disease, so perhaps the mother's mother was the originator. It was an interesting diversion from the usual family history research.
