ELIZABETH HORNETT : 1848 - 1850

Elizabeth was the penultimate child for Charles and Elizabeth, her birth being registered in the first quarter of 1848. Sadly, she seems to have been a sick baby and died from what was recorded as 'tabes mesenterica", on 28th May 1850, aged only 2. This was a wasting disease of small children, resulting from a tubercular infection of lymph glands in the abdomen and must have been very distressing for her parents. Elizabeth was buried in Bloomsbury on 2nd June 1850.
