I have been piecing together the tragic life of my 3xgreat grandfather, Charles Alexander.
He married 4 times. 3 of his wives predeceased him and I think the 4th might have left!
I have just received the death certificates for his first wife and one of his children:
19th January 1850 56 Brunswick Street Heywood
Lavinia Alexander 34 years Wife of Charles Alexander Joiner
Cause of death: Peritonitis 1 week Certified
Informant: Charles Alexander Present at the death 56 Brunswick Street Heywood
19th January 1850 56 Brunswick Street Heywood
Walter Alexander aged 6 months Son of Charles Alexander Joiner
COD: Convulsions 2 days
Informant: Charles Alexander Present at Death
They both died on the same day.
Do you think their deaths are unrelated, or do you think that Lavinia's peritonitis and Walter's convulsions were caused by the same thing?
