I had just started to investigate the Pollington family in Havant (Hampshire) around the middle of the C18 when I noticed that two of the children died in Dec 1746. That seemed to be unfortunate but not particularly unusual. I decided to check out the rest of the family and found two more! Then I did a further search on the FamilySearch site and found three previously unknown children - two of whom also died in December 1746.
In 1746 the family consisted of nine children, all under the age of 18. Six of them died in December 1746!
I have a few ideas of what might have happened. Has anyone else come across a case like this?
