   Thank you. I'm glad that I brought this here, because I may not have spotted   
   what now is appearing obvious.   
      
   The family were living in Mill Street, a poor part of town, where TB would   
   have spread easily. I have this evening discovered that the eldest son died in   
   1831, the mother in 1834, and a daughter in 1835. The rest of the family moved   
   elsewhere for a while.   
      
   So I'm wondering whether TB or another infection in the 1830s could eventually   
   have caused the weaver's death in the 1840s.
