Recommended Posts

Anyone got any historical info. on Clough Field Crookes please?

I have a family "suffering from billious fever" in 1830. I recall reading somewhere about the need for a water supply but cant remember where.

I understand billious fever covered a lot of ailments but wonder if it was typhoid.

When did death certificates come in please?

Grateful for any suggestions

(Most of what I found mentioned seems to be from The US)

Bilious Fever

When a continual, remitting, or intermitting fever is accompanied with a frequent or copious evacuation of bile, either by vomit or stool, the fever is denominated bilious. [buchan1785].

The common remittent fever of summer and autumn; generally supposed to be owing to, or connected with, derangement of the biliary system. [Dunglison1855].

Typhoid fever, Remittent fever or simple gastritis. [Appleton1904].

A term loosely applied to certain intestinal and malarial fevers. See typhus. [Thomas1907].

An ephemeral fever attended with symptoms of gastric catarrh and excessive secretion of bile. [stedman 1918].

Example from an 1828 death certificate from Pennsylvania:

Example from an 1868 death certificate from West Virginia:

Thanks for replies

I am wondering if other people in the hamlet were effected. We only know know about this family from Bradfield archives - they were from Bingley House Stannington. They applied for relief

John and his wife both die a few years later so I am also wondering, what of?
