Hi

I have that one- John born 19/2/1769 married Elizabeth Mates C 1766 on 28/1/1794 I have some details of their children too.- on excel can send it- how do we email each other?

Scarlet fever and scarletina are the same thing, more commonly called scarletina these days.  It is a bacterial childhood illness that is characterised by very high temperature, a fine red rash, sore throat and what they call a rasberry tongue as you get spots on your tongue that look like .... you got it!!! a raspberry. 
Before antibiotics came in after the war it was quite a serious thing as small kids and frail kids eg those with TB, could die of it so they were very frightened by it.  These days you just go to the GP when your kid's unwell and get antibiotics so I expect they catch quite a bit before it gets too bad.
Aren't we lucky they discovered penicillin.

Thats interesting I am surprised they mixed the childhood things with the TB, I know my mother said you had to go to an isolational hospital for scarlet fever as it was considered very dangerous prior to penicillin.

thanks Chris
 I always get those Heathfield churches muddled.  The Independant at Cade Street, Punnetts Town is a possibilty as it is only about 2 miles away and I went to school there from Warbleton and also Avard rellys live there. Only problem with that is the register is too late as she died in 1839. His first wife died in 1802 and the first child of theirs was born in 1810 so must have been before this as she was christened Avard.
Unless of course she came from further afield - somehow doubt that as the rest of us haven't moved since the 1700's and the kids are in the Warbleton records.

Looks like Lewes again for me.

Hi

Can any one tell me whether death certificates in 1839 would have a maiden name on them?  Have found Charlotte Avard's death.  Am desperate to know her maiden name.
