Coroner Inquest Jane Bromley

[tempogold]

 Hello
Jane Bromley died February 1869 age 38  .  An inquest was held into her death. On the death Certificate it says inquest held 25 Feb 1869. Cause of death i cant quite make out but it says accelerated by want of sufficient food after Labour .
She was buried 28 Feb1869 in Camden London . Address at death 4 Circus Road London. I wonder if the inquest  might be recorded in a newspaper?

thank you .

Hi tempogold,

I can't see anything about Jane's inquest in the British Newspaper Archive (BNA), unfortunately.

I was going to suggest Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre but it would seem that the only newspaper held by them, covering 1869, is the St Pancras Gazette (1866-1939) - an identical holding to the BNA, so maybe that particular newspaper didn't publish anything about the Inquest.

Some Coroners' records are at the London Metropolitan Archives and their "Research Guide 41: Coroners records for London and Middlesex" is at:

Perhaps you could email them for confirmation as to whether or not they hold the relevant documentation. Their email address (and other contact details) are at:

In the meantime, you might wish to try posting a snip of the Death Certificate's "Cause of Death" section to Rootschat's Handwriting Deciphering Board, in case anyone can help with the bit you can't quite make out - because that could possibly throw some more light on the circumstances surrounding Jane's death.

Good luck,
