So sad
Getting back into the swing of family history now I am retired. I've just noticed the sad sequence of events in my gt x 2 grandfather John Purvey's life.
Between 1886 and 1889 (3 years) he lost his brother, his mother, 4 sons and a daughter. A daughter died before this and another daughter afterwards. All the deaths occurred singly, but what a ghastly period it must have been.
