Have enjoyed reading about Eye on your site. My great great great grandparents Joseph and Elizabeth Phillips lived in Eye in the 1800s. They had ten children but sadly five of these died in infancy. Four of these five died within a few days of each in March/April 1828. It would seem likey that they would have all died of the same illness and wondered whether there were any records of an outbreak of a childhood illness in the village at this time.
