September Death of Christiana Musgrove
Christiana
Musgrove Died of Ulceration of the Mucous Membrane at 29 years
old. She was buried at The St Pancras and Islington Cemetry in
a public grave, this means she was buried with others. Notice
the grave number is duplicated. This is not a paupers grave or
a private grave its in between. The map below dates from 1871
and shows Georges Road Holloway where Christiana died. Unfortunately
the area is totally redeveloped. We estimate the house was on
the south side of Georges Road opposite Hope Strret to James
Street. We are still uncertain why Christiana Musgrove was living
here when she died. Interestingly many years later George's daughter
Emily (from his second wife)
lived
in
a house
in Eden
Grove with
her
husband George Ruff and their two children. Notice George is
still a railway porter so it would appear he hasn't had any money
yet. The cemetery couldn't give us a date for the funeral. Below
is an old picture of Georges Road it looks like a pretty mean
street we don't why he would have moved here.
