Have found a long article into the inquest of the death of Francis Rice - too long to type in full but will do a synopsis and send the actual article to Douglas.

Headline: Rochester and Chatham.
Publication:West Kent Guardian
Publication date:Saturday 16 May 1840

The inquest was held into the death of Francis Rice who died following pains in his chest. His death was found to be a "Visitation from God".

He had pains for a couple of days and had seen the doctor twice for medicine. Came home from work on the Friday and expired after making strange noises. His wife Mary Ann ran for the doctor.

He was the captain of the Medway steamer and had been an exemplary character and well regarded. He had turned 41 the previous September and left behind 7 children unprovided for.

The wife was reprimanded by the coroner at the request of the jury owing to her previous conduct towards her husband and family, apparently she was "of intemperate habits".
