Hi, I realise that im shocked about something that must have been an everyday occurrence ...
However i have had many branches of my family where they have lost a few children, But i have recently found a new branch where the poor family lost 5 of their 7 children before their first birthday..
I have had a look on London Lives and they did live in a impoverished area, They were Robert & Jane Fleetwood, they married in Oct 1713 At All Hallows The great London, , I cant make out which parish Jane Perry (wife) was from.. But i know Robert was from St Andrew Undershaft.
All of their children were christened at St Andrews Undershaft, London And they seemed to name their children the same name which is a bit confusing they had
2 Charles Fleetwoods, and 2 Robert Fleetwoods!.. All died sadly... They all lived and died between 1714 - 1722.. John Fleetwood 1720 (my 6 X Great grandad) Survived thankfully!
I have looked and i cant find a record of their street address...
Just thought it was shocking....
