    1. [KENT-ENG] Hospital Ship and C
    2. Charani
    3. Whilst tracking down the death of my George LEWIS in Greenwich between 1851 and 1861 I came across three others (apart from mine) all of whom had their abode as "Hospital Ship" and a "C" against their names. There were also several pages of others with the same abode with "C" by their names. Would "Hospital Ship" suggest these men were sailors or would it have been a vessel that was used as an isolation hospital if the "C" stood for cholera? Was there a cholera outbreak between 1851 and 1854? My George wasn't one of the unfortunates. I'm just curious about the other deaths. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
