Yes so very said, I’ve had ancestors where the parents have lost a child and the father’s brother within hours of each other from seizures (probably a viral infection). I’ve had a child die from burning, others with rickets but they have mainly been isolated cases. I’ve not known so many...

Hi Peasmoulde, Thank you for reply, sorry it took me so long to reply back. If you can remember the names that would be really useful. I have shown my mom and she thinks that she may well be the girl at the bottom right hand corner. Thank You once again.
