Kate Gammage (1868-1881)

Circa 1875, Thoroughfare, Woodbridge, Suffolk, England.

Henry Welton had a studio & premises at 26, Thoroughfare, Woodbridge.

Kate was the second born child of four, to my 2x Gt. Grandparents, Benjamin Henry Gammage (1846-1903) & Anna Steel (1843 -1873).

Kate was 11 years old when she died, and is buried in

Benjamin was a baker and confectioner of Cumberland Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk, England.

Three of their four children died. The sole survivor, Ada Gammage, became my Great Grandmother.

I was long intrigued as to why Kate had died in the Crown Hotel in the Thorofare, rather than in her nearby home of 22, Cumberland Street.
I had visions of her being run over by a horse and carriage or some such, and being taken into the hotel, injured.

After many years of ruminating, I bought her death certificate.
It revealed that she had sadly died of tuberculosis.
Back in 1881, I considered that maybe in the extensive grounds of the Crown Hotel, there was an 'isolation' room, or house, for victims of the contagious killer. But this is pure speculation on my part.

Only last week, I discovered a new connection between Kate and the Crown Hotel.

My 3 x Gt. Aunt, Hannah Grimwood, nee Addison, was Kate's Gt. Aunt.

Hannah & her husband Thomas Grimwood were the licensee's of the Crown at the time, and for a total of over 20 years, maybe longer.
