The European Cholera Epidemic was from 1826-1837. Although mortality estimates vary, most records indicate that about 50 percent of those contracting cholera died from it. In 1831-32, cholera took approximately twenty-three thousand lives in England and Wales, twenty thousand in Ireland, and nearly ten thousand in Scotland. The epidemic reached its zenith in the spring and summer months. In 1832, cholera killed more than fifty-five hundred Parisians during one week in April, while in Glasgow, Scotland, it wiped out over twelve hundred in August alone. After reaching peaking in 1832, the epidemic spread into Spain and Portugal (1833), the south of France (1834), and Italy (1835-36). In 1837, it hit Austria, the German states, the Baltic ports, and Poland. Though taking fewer lives after 1833, cholera recurred in most parts of Europe before subsiding in early 1838. A decade passed before an even deadlier cholera epidemic reached Western Europe in 1848. There was also an influenza outbreak at around the same time. It is possible that both Alexander Millar and Alison Millar succumbed to one or both diseases.

The 1841 Scotland Census lists David Lindsay (occupation listed as "Pedlar" or seller of small goods door to door) living with his daughter Janet Lindsay on Crawford Street in Carluke. David's son William was also living in Carluke with his family. Alexander may have already joined the British Army (in the 1851 England Census, Alexander Lindsay was a Private in Barracks at Everton, Walton on the Hill,  Lancashire, England).

Alison Millar may have been related to Alexander Millar and Janet Steele. Janet Steele Millar was living with her daughters Marion Millar and Jean Millar on Crawford Street in Carluke at the time of the 1841 Census.

Editor's Note: It is also interesting that Agnes Rennie (10 years old and future wife of John Rogerson Waugh) and her family were living on Crawford Street at the time of the 1841 Census. They lived on Old Bridgend in the 1851 Census. Agnes Rennie married John Waugh in 1857. John's brother William Waugh would marry Alison Lindsay in 1861.
