Sarah Moore's death certificate records her cause of death as "Sudden death/fever accelerated by long privation and want of proper food"

The inquest was widely reported across the country. My favourite report is this one from The Bedfordshire Mercury, 11 Apr 1863 https://search.findmypast.co.uk/bna/...ethnal%20green
I hope the link works. Other more factual and less florid reports state at the end that the jurors were of the opinion that no blame attached to the parish authorities.
