I couldn't read the replies to the orig Cholera outbreak so posted it again. Found the replies. thanks to all. I do not know that my relatives died of cholera but it would explain something for me. I did not know there were so many outbreaks. The family I am interested in disappeared after 1834 leaving a son with grandparents & uncle in 1841 in Stockton on Tees, Co. Durham. any outbreaks there at that time and if so where would they be recorded. I am clutching at straws here. Thanks in advance. Jackie

It was 1866 in London, we lost three ancestors due to it.

There was a cholera outbreak in Sheffield in 1832. Hope this helps. Peter

Hi James, How did you find out your rellies died of Cholera, have you found their death certs, and what areas please. I have a couple of people that have disappeared off the face of the earth around this time and have wondered if it was due to an epidemic of some sort Sylvia
