	I may be wrong, but somewhere at the back of my mind I think a coroners warrant was issued to allow a burial to go ahead before the inquest was held. Probably where the death was unexpected, but there don´t appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

	Local newspapers perhaps? Try contacting the library local to that area and asking them if they would look through the newspapers for that time. Dea x

Here name is Mary Jessop and she was burried on the 16th of January 1861. On her burial it mentions coroners warrant. I know the death certificate would be my next point of call but i was wondering if there would be any other information about it anywhere. Thanks
