I have just received the death certificate of my grandmother's sister. She died in September 1895, at the age of two months. She died at home, and the cause given is 'Sudden convulsions supervening on abscess in the jaw.' Under this it says 'Natural'. The certificate has been issued by the Coroner for the County of London, following an inquest.
Can anyone throw anymore light on what this actually means?
I'm guessing that poison from the abscess may have entered her blood stream and caused convulsions, but any suggestions/confirmation are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Denise
