Hello Listers Something has just jumped out at me while checking one of my Hampshire families. Susannah OSMAN née ROBINS and Elizabeth LUFFMAN née ROBINS both died in 1787. Susannah's burial is registered at St Mary's Portsea on 14 Jul 1787 - she was 37. Her sister Elizabeth's burial is in the St Mary's Alverstoke (she was 31), the only date so far gleaned being the year, ie 1787. Can anyone tell me if there was an epidemic in the Alverstoke-Gosport-Portsmouth-Portsea area at that time? It seems a strange coincidence. Both, daughters of John ROBINS and Sarah née TURLINGTON, had been baptised in St Mary's Portsea, Susannah in 1750 and Elizabeth in 1756. Two of their three siblings (Joseph and Mary: Mrs Redman) moved to Chichester, the third (Sarah: Mrs Harvey) to London. Is anyone able to supply the full date for Elizabeth's burial please? And are there any suggestions as to the cause of this Many thanks. Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
