Title: Cause of death of two Wilton children. Update
Post by: Peedee on Tuesday 08 August 23 00:39 BST (UK)
In the 1861 census showing Major John Robert Wilton's family, two of the children were missing. I have recently found out why. While John was serving in St. Helier, Jersey, in 1860, son Lewis died from meningitis May, 1860, age three years, six months. His sister Margaret died from tuberculosis in October that year, at the age of fourteen years, six months. Whew! I did it!

This should have been posted on whichever of your previous Wilton posts it refers to.  On its own it has no meaning

Death notices for both children were placed in several newspapers in England, Ireland and India.
