JACOB
LUKE great, great, great grandfather baptised October 21st, 1792 in Phillack,
Cornwall; buried July 8th, 1849 in Phillack, Cornwall.
He was the son of JACOB
LUKE and JANE
LUKE (nee COCK). He married firstly JOANNA WHEARE August
20th, 1814
at Phillack, Cornwall. Jacob married secondly Susanna Care July 16th
1836 at Phillack, Cornwall. Susann/a Luke (nee Care) was buried 6th August 1849
aged 45 at Phillack, the day after their daughter Jane Luke (half sister of
my gt gt grandfather Jacob Luke bapt 1825)
who was aged 5 years when she was buried on 5th August 1849 at Phillack
Two days later Jacob himself is buried aged 57.
An inspection of the
Phillack burial records for 1849 will reveal a significant number of burials
in the July to September period of 1849. Most of those buried in this period
were residents of the villages of Ventonlege and Guilford and it was likely
that many of these had succumbed to an epidemic of Cholera that ravaged these
two villages at that time.
The West Briton
and Cornwall Advertiser in the edition published on Friday August 10, 1849 and
headlined "CHOLERA AT PHILLACK" reported "We regret to state
that the cholera has appeared in this neighbourhood, and that there have been
eleven deaths up to Wednesday night. The disease has been thus far chiefly confined
to the little village of Ventonleague, where the houses are low and badly ventilated,
with filthy cess pools contiguous to the dwellings." Source
