Well knock me down with a feather! I just looked at the Archaic medical terms site and it says "Chincough or chin-cough Whooping cough " or as the medical profession likes to call it now, pertussis. nell |

Henry (who ate the notorious meat pie) deserted his wife Janet a few months earlier. She was admitted to the poor house and was described as "much given to drink". I think she may have been responsible for stealing the lettuce. Incidentally, she died of "senility" |

Is it possible that stopping of the stomach can be caused by lettuce??? All it would take is the 'tip of the Iceberg' Pat x |

The owner of the eating house said "we have never had any complaints before" and "possibly 40 or 50 persons had meat pie on that day" So, if you have a missing relative in Tilbury Docks area in August 1900, could be he ate one of the other portions of pie! |

another great grandfather died in his early 50's of exhaustion. then I realised he had been a busy chappie - got a neighbour and gt gran with child at the same time and then when gt gran died a short while later he married the neighbour. In total gt granda fathered well over 20 children - neither wonder he was exhausted!!!!! |
