No, you certainly did well to find her. In those days there were so many epidemics and very little protection against disease. Also effects of industry, which we wouldn't consider today. I was wondering why my Sloman's moved from Tiverton in Devon to Milverton Somerset, villages not too far away really. I looked at the history of Tiverton and the amount of fires that occured were amazing. If the factory caught fire, most of the village burnt down and I imagine that would be the same in most places.
