Waterborne & Sanitation‑Related Diseases
This individual lived in a time when diseases linked to contaminated water and poor sanitation were
a constant threat. Conditions such as Typhoid, Enteric Fever, Cholera, Dysentery, Gastro‑enteritis, Colonial
Fever, Slow Fever, Low Fever and Malarial Fever could spread quickly through households and neighbourhoods,
often with little warning. Their story reflects an era before modern sewerage and clean water systems made
these once‑common dangers far less visible today. Brighton General Cemetery records contain 341 such deaths.
