Esther WILKINS (daughter) of Darrington, near Pontefract, was present at the death and registered it.

At that time typhoid was a nasty prolonged illness which is no doubt why Esther was summoned to nurse her mother. It is caused by the ingestion of food or fluid infected by a specific bacterium which entered the food chain due to poor hygiene or poor sanitation. Leeds was growing rapidly during Mary's life there resulting in reduced open land and gardens and increasing numbers of small sized housing and commercial developments most of which had limited washing and sanitation in close association with wells providing water for all purposes.
