I too would be interested in receiving a list of Epidemics which you may have many thnx Cher

Hi Helen and everyone, I haven't followed all the correspondence on this subject but I do have a list of epidemics through history which I have found useful in my own research. The list shows that in the years 1723 to 1730 there were a string of poor harvests with resultant epidemics. Most probably the poor harvests were caused by the erruption of the Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica in the February of 1723. I am trying to send my list as an attachment with this e-mail, but if that doesn't work I will be willing to send a copy to anyone who's interested.

Can SKS tell me who was living at No.2 Norland Road, Southsea at the time of the 1881 census? Ruth in Hambledon, Hampshire "The Cradle of Cricket"

Hello, I would be very interested in receiving a copy of your emidemics list. Does it include years other than the 1700s? I have an ancestor who disappeared (apparently died) and am trying to find out what happened. Thank you in advance, Crystal ________________________________ From: Patrick J V Reeves <pjvr@waitrose.com> To: icedancer@mail.com; hampshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, May 21, 2010 10:22:52 AM Subject: Re: [HAM] epidemics Hi Helen and everyone, I haven't followed all the correspondence on this subject but I do have a list of epidemics through history which I have found useful in my own research.

Thank you to Edna, Penny & Paul for your replies. I visited the website Edna sent and Paul referred to, so with Penny's information regarding a famine which would weaken the populations immunity to disease, it would be a reasonable assumption that they succumbed to Influenza. It's a shame there's no Death certs that early.

We have to remember this was before antibiotics and modern medicine. It is a wonder that any of us survived at all. In burial registers, I have seen so many young children dying and then people actually in their nineties who must have gone through all the epidemics.

Starting in 1723 there was a famine in the UK which lasted approx 7 years.

You are right there doesn't seem to be any epidemics in the early part of the century although I did find on a US site that there was a worldwide influenza epidemic 1732-3. Of course the notation world wide may have meant to mean that it wasn't just the U.S. so can't tell if it hit the U.K. as well but presuming the travel between the two countries at the time it is likely.

A good site: http://www.genealogy-quest.com/glossaries/diseases.html Wishing you all the best of health. Edna - Ottawa _____________________________________________

Helen Just an observation - the village is I believe Sherfield upon Loddon not Sherfield, Upson Loddon. Barry PS re emigration to Canada, often it was not a case of how they afforded to go but they were paid for by the Parish to go so as to relieve the Parish of paying them Poor Relief. In Downton a substantial % of the locals were exported to Canada & the USA during bad harvest times & low employment

Hello Edna, Thank you very much for your suggestions in both your messages - I shall follow them up Best regards John

Check the Free BMD and see where the children were born, perhaps send for one of the certificates. This should reveal from where they came.... Edna - Ottawa

Probably you should look into the Isle of Jersey listing.

I am new to the list, so please excuse any errors. I am looking for info on my Great-Great-Grandparents, David MITCHELL born about 1800-1801 and Hester (Ester) FISHER born April 12, 1799 (parents John FISHER & Ester RUFFELL). She was born in Sherfield, Upson Loddon, Hampshire. They married October 16, 1820 in the Oakley Parish Church by Banns. My questions are would the church records say where David was born, who his parents were and also if he had any siblings? How did they afford to take their family in 1846 to Canada (they had 7 children by then)? I will be very grateful for any help given. If there are anyone interested in this family's info in Canada, I have 3-5 generations, with most of their 10 children. Helen (MITCHELL) DAVIS
