I don't know much about the death rate of tanners.  Although most of my ancesters in that area were in the glove making business.  As far as records, I have always found the Montgomery County Genealogical Library in Fonda to have the best resources available.  All of my relatives were protestant but I am sure that they library can help you.  The other resource is the State Library in Albany.  Good luck.,

Hello,

My GG Grandfather worked for the glove company as a "tanner" for
approx 3 years from 1859 to 1862. I have two questions.
Within two years of leaving this job he died in his early thirties. The Tanners
used a lot of toxic chemicals such as lead. Was there a high mortality rate in
that job?
While in Kingsboro my GG Grandparents had three children born.
The family was Roman Catholic. I know in the area today there is two parishes,
however I am having trouble getting info from them and the Diocese about where I
can get baptismal info for that period. Can anyone help steer me in the right
direction?

Regards,
Richard Orr
