Hi, Listers: I have previously sent queries involving my grandfather, William Dodd, Chemist and Druggist, of Roker Ave., Monkwearmouth. Around 1880, according to my father's flyleaf addition, he made a scrap-book of newspaper clippings (one clearly dated 1877) on topics that took his fancy. He must have had good eyes, for the type is minute. He used (waste not, want not) an old pre-printed Register of Vaccination, pasting his clippings so as to cover completely the columns of entries. But not quite all. Near the back, following a block of blank pages, are three pages of unobscured entries dated 1859, 1861 and 1862. All those vaccinated were under six months old. The fee, incidentally, was 1/6 apiece, which seems to me a bit steep for that time. The column headed "Parish in which Resident" is filled with street names, many hard to read, but Vine and Hopper Streets are easy. If Mr Dodd made these entries, he was no penman. Some questions come to my mind, assuming that no doctor would ever let such a register out of his hands. Was a Chemist and Druggist (especially one not long qualified) allowed in those days to administer vaccinations? Why vaccinations to such young children? Was there a sudden outbreak of some disease in Monkwearmouth at that time? Any ideas, anyone? Bruce Dodd, Ottawa
