Dated 21st April 1883

SUDDEN DEATH AT BENHAM – Mr. J. C. Pinniger, County Coroner, held an inquest on Saturday, at the Nags Head Inn, Stockcross, on the body of Elizabeth Hamblin, 51 years of age, wife of Ambrose Hamblin, gardener, Speen, and a cook in the service of the Rev. T. G. Onslow, of Benham Cottage. The deceased had signified her intention of leaving Mr. Onslow’s service, and another person named Dorcas Purdue was engaged to fill her place. On Friday evening the deceased had sent in the dinner at seven o’clock and then went out. Returning shortly before 10, she ate a hearty supper, and soon after went to bed with Dorcas Purdue. At half-past three Purdue was aroused by the heavy snoring of deceased, who slept in the same bed. She shook the deceased and tried to rouse her. Being unable to do so she called Mr. and Mrs. Onslow, and further efforts were made to being deceased to a state of consciousness, but without effect. A doctor was then sent for, but the deceased died before he arrived. Dr. Ryott said his opinion was that deceased died of sanguineous apoplexy, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly.

 

Dorcas died aged 52 on the 5th January 1890. She was laid to rest in the Newtown Road Cemetery on the 8th January.
