I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.
The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.
How is everyone else going?

๐ฎ In my great grandparents family, they lost their youngest 4 children to influenza, all only 3 or 4 days apart :_| They were aged 11 months to 5 years ๐
Oh punch that must have been utterly heart breaking. Was that in Australia? If it was the influenza epidemic back in 1919 was shocking and killed so many of them.

Teething cat? How on earth did that happen?
Been looking it up and can't find anything specific, but I imagine that the child was running a high temperature and finally went into convulsions and died.
This is the closest I could find:

What a fearful thing that would be for the parents.
I have found a number of young women who died in child birth. It's not actually noted as such, but when the mother is about 14 and her death date is the same as the child's birth date I think it would be almost a given...
Those were hard times weren't they. ๐

It was 1896 in England. Hard to imagine isn't it. They had nine kids at the time, and then after they lost those four, they had another four (or 6 maybe, I think there's a couple more that no ones been able to trace) maybe the other 2 died as well.
It seems to be pretty commonplace for people to lose kids back then. We are pretty lucky that medicine has come so far in the last 100 years or so.

I wondered if it was perhaps SIDS. Maybe it coincided with the baby getting teeth and that's what they attributed it to.

Yes, it was later in the day I thought that there could have been another infection at the same time or that it was SIDS..
Whatever how bloomin' sad.
Been out a lot of the day, so nothing going on here at present ๐
