I find anything relating to deaths from cholera very interesting as OH's 2x-great-grandfather Charles Lamb died in 1832 in London from cholera. He was a gunsmith in Whitby and had travelled by ship to London and died a few days after. His death is chronicled in all its dreadful detail.
Then, in the 1854, my 3x-great-grandparents, who had lived in Islington, both died in Bayswater and Knightsbridge resepctively, from cholera. Both were cared for by their children.
