Brief biography

James William (2) Woodhurst was born in 1883 to parents George Daniel Woodhurst and his first wife Lauretta Evangeline. His GRO birth reference is [Birth Index: W. Ham 4a 194, 1883 (Dec)].

He died 10 weeks later. His death certificate [Death Index: W. Ham 4a 98, 1883 (Dec)] states that he died at his parents' address 136, Lea Bridge Gardens in Leyton on December 26th 1883. He is described as the son of a telegraphist George Daniel Woodhurst. The cause of death is cited as "Tabes". Most probably this refers to tabes mesenterica - an illness typically arising in childhood - involving tuberculosis of the lymph glands inside the abdomen. His father was the informant.
