I'm the guy who did the Coltishall transcriptions for Geoffers' valuable databases (the indexes to these are still searchable at BTW). I have a very distant linkage (via marriages and in-laws) to the James BARNARD & Harriet née ALLARD family. They stick in my mind because of one of the more chilling sets of data in the Coltishall PRs - in just three weeks in June 1869, they buried four of their (then) six young children. I've not looked at their death certs, but I assume they must have all been hit by an infectious/contagious disease. Looking at the Coltishall burial registers, this doesn't seem to have been a parish-wide epidemic (1869 deaths were about average numbers), though. If you are still interested in this family, I have a bit more information on James & Harriet and the surviving & subsequent children.
