Baptisms Index 1801-1837, Upwell Parish Registers at the Fenland Museum, Wisbech and The Norfolk Baptism Project ~~ Then tragedy strikes - John, sen. & the baby, Martha die in 1832. John was 29 years old, and Martha was just 2 years old. Both are buried at St. Peter's Church, Upwell. ~~ Source: Cambs. Burial Index 1801-37 pub. Cambs. F.H.S. ~~ There was a Cholera epidemic in the Eastern Counties around 1832 - I can only assume that this or something similar is what killed John and his baby daughter.
