Thanks I have googled the illness and found that the TB did go away during pregnancy. But my ancestors 1st wife was about 42 or 43 when she died and had TB for years so was past her fertile best. No wonder why her hubby found comfort in a much younger woman. He was a servant and a lot of illegitimate births were because the parents were in service together. Once the previous wife died he was free to wed again and wed a few months later then they christened their firstborn. |

My nan knew a woman in the 1920's who suffered from TB. The only time the symptoms disappeared was during pregnancy. |

I think Ben it must be more likely Mum would have given the baby an illness like TB. As Reg said, have a google and read up on it to get a clearer idea. |
