http://scs.statementdigital.com/uploads/selby_civic_society/images/Cholera2.jpgCommonsence reasoning: its likely they carried on using the fever burial ground after 1849
Transporting a TB consumption infected body in 1850 of Richard Hood across country in the year
(only months being May 1850) after the 1849 cholera pandemic
would be unthinkable by the 1832 established health board
In the 1850's the populous would have been scared stiff of contamination from a TB body or even hearing the name of the consumption
Likely buried in fever graves and maybe with a separate record of these graves
Phthisis - The
White Plague used to refer to tuberculosis throughout history
and bodies should have been buried in a day if not within hours after death-
doubtful they would have been allowed the transportation of an infected body to travel through other parishes even by train or even to leave Selby parish

By the late 19th century, 70 to 90% of the urban populations of Europe and North America were infected with the TB bacillus, and about 80% of those individuals who developed active tuberculosis died of it.
About 40% of working-class deaths in cities were from tuberculosis.

The government took speedy action and the Cholera Act was passed in February 1832, granting authority and making funds available for local boards to act effectively. Local boards of health would have the power to enter dwelling-houses, remove nuisances, acquire special burial grounds, provide relief for the sick and cover their expenses.
On 6 March 1832, an order of the Privy Council enabled communities threatened by cholera to set up local boards of health that could be authorised to provide medical care; if the parish vestry refused to grant the board of health the necessary funds, the board could apply to the Privy Council. An order of 20 July 1832 gave boards of health powers of entry to clear nuisances etc, and required the burial of cholera victims within 24 hours of death.
By the spring of 1832, cholera had broken out in Darlington, Hull, Selby and Leeds. The first case was reported in York on 2 June 1832, and was thought to have been brought to the city by crowds coming to the races.
