  	GRO ref: Hanman, Cathleen q4 1918 aged 27 Medway RD 2a 1714 Details from death registration (GRO register entry) Dying a couple of weeks after her last son's birth, was the pneumonia linked to her post-partum state, or was linked to the flu pandemic, or neither? In the flu pandemic it was often pneumonia linked to it that killed. Had her husband, who was in the army, picked up the flu and introduced it into the home? - he was the informant for their son's birth so clearly at home at that time.
  Buried	13 Nov 1918	St. Margaret’s Cemetery, Maidstone Road, Rochester, Kent, England

  	GRO ref: BRETT, Joseph to BEARD, Constant q3 1889 Medway RD 2a 949 The 1911 census confirms there were just two children from the marriage. In the 1901 and 1911 censuses Joseph was not with his family, and Constant was shown as the head, but she was shown as married rather than a widow. In 1921 she was shown as a widow. Was she really aware she had died, or just guessing?
