miked Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 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 mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (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: English Glossary of Causes of Death and other Archaic Medical Terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miked Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
