Hello John There was a cholera outbreak in 1831 in the UK which started worldwide in 1826. I know it was quite predominant in Norfolk and I have a mother & son who died of it in 1834 in Denver which is very close to the Cambridgeshire border. I have a Word doc of UK illnesses from 1350 to 1950. If you're interested contact me off list.
