Notes for: John FOSKETT

Diary of Rev William Cole of Bletchley (1765-1767)

Mon 18th 1767
John Foskett's son who lived with Major Shipman at Great Brickhill, the adjoining parish, died on Saturday morning of the smallpox, and was buried yesyerday without any of the family knowing of it. I called at Dame Foskett's at 11 o/clock, as I went out, who told me her husband was gone to hear after him as Brickhill, but did not know of her son's death. Surely it was odd not to inform the boys parents.
