Hello Alan,
Thank you for the Email. The more I think about it, the more intriguing
it becomes, not only genealogicaly, but in matters of world current
affairs as well. How well could records have been kept in a quarantined
City that virtually instantaneously lost 66% of it's population. And
when you imagine all the other like instances.... Very profound.
Please do keep in touch.
Best Regards,
Tom

A quote from "The Rows of Great Yarmouth" by Colin Tooke:

"....a series of disaters that led to a rapid decline in the town's
fortunes.The harbour exit became blocked in 1336, a replacement(the first
Haven) blocked in 1346 and two years later the plague, or Black Death,
killed almost two thirds of the inhabitants, reducing a population of some
10,000
to about 3000....."

Kind regards

Pauline:-)
