Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 452 Send Message	Does anyone have access to the newspaper archives relating to Lambeth in 1883? My 2 x great grandmother Elizabeth Mersh [mn Hills] died on 13 June 1883 from scalding. An inquest was held on 16th June 1883. The coroner was William Carter. I would love to know more details about this tragic death. She was only 44 and left several children. Thank you for any help. Wendy
