I have just received death cert for OH's Aunt who died at 15 months old in 1915, the cause of death was Whooping cough and Broncho pneumonia. I am waiting for her sisters death cert which hopefully will come tomorrow and I suspect she may have died from the same cause. Its seems awful that children died of diseases that are preventable today.
Update
Just received birth cert for OH's other aunt. She died aged 18 months of Measles, their is another word but I can read it, looks like Eule....
Measles and whooping cough are preventable today it is so sad. I have sent for another death cert this time a brother, he too died aged 1. It must be awful to lose 3 children.
