Found this by googling: " in 1912, when Bethnal Green's medical officer stressed its overcrowding (430 people to an acre) and high death rate (24.74 per 1,000 compared with a borough average of 16.71). The Local Government Board in 1914 ordered the L.C.C. to deal with at least part of the area under the Act of 1890, but work was delayed by the war. " From: British History Online Source: Bethnal Green: Building and Social Conditions from 1876 to 1914. A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume XI, T.F.T. Baker (Editor) (1998).

You'd need to get their death certs to confirm, but I imagine it would either be a)all of them succumb to the same disease - which could be typhoid, tb, diphtheria etc b) some accident - a fire or something like that. It's quite likely that if it was an accident there would be an account in the local paper. nell |

You could get their death certs to find out cause. I had a mob go in the 1860's in East London. There was an eperdemic of typhoid at that time. |

Hi Can anyone give me a tip of where to look for some info. I am researching a family called Fugazza in the early 1900's, and have found that 4 of the family died in the same quarter, Mar 1907, the mother and 3 children, in Bethnal Green, London. This has intrigued me and now I want to know why, how etc. Any ideas Cheers Mike |
