Hello everyone. Can you can you local history buffs shed any light on how the town dealt with TB in the early 1900's/late 1800's? I am an avid family history researcher and one section of my family from wayyyy back lost two sons and two daughters (in their twenties) to TB within a four year span, one after the other. One of those was married, but census shows her having moved out of the marital home and into a lodging house. I wonder if it was to protect her family ? The adress of the lodging house was Stonefold Haslingden.
