Kentish Gazette 27 August 1850.
ROMNEY MARSH.
An inquest was held at the "Shephed and Crook," Burmarsh, before James
Elliott, Esq., one of the coroners for the Marsh, to inquire into the
death of a lad named Jacob Wratten, who was killed at the foot of the
Lympne Hill. From the evidence produced, it appeared he was leading a
horse in a cart by the halter down the hill, when the horse, from some
cause, started off, and the poor lad was knocked down and killed on the
spot.
A similar and fatal accident happened near Jesson Farm, in the parish of
St. Mary's, to a lad with a brewer's wagon, on Monday last. From
information, it seems the lad was driving the horses, and unfortunately
fell, and the wheel passing over him, he was killed on the spot.

From the Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 29 December 1874.
COUNTY NEWS BURMARSH. SUDDEN DEATH.
An inquest was held at the "Shepherd and Crook Inn," Burmarsh, on
Thursday afternoon, touching the death
of a man named John Avery, of the parish.
Elizabeth Avery, the daughter of the deceased, said her father was about
59 years of age, and was an
agricultural labourer. He always appeared to enjoy good health, and had
not received medical assistance for
some time. He sometimes complained of shortness of breath when he was
going upstairs or had to move
quickly. On Tuesday night he went to bed as usual. He was in the habit
of getting up about 5 o'clock, having
his breakfast by himself, and then going to work; but on Wednesday
morning, when he got up, she was much surprised to find his boots downstairs. She went and rapped at his
bedroom door; but received no answer,
went in and found him on his side, as if in sleep. She tried to wake
him, but found him quite dead. She had
not noticed any sounds in the night, although her father slept in the
next room to her.
Mr. R. R. Daglish, surgeon, said he had examined the body of the
deceased, and from this examination, and
from enquiries he had made, he had no doubt Avery had died of heart
disease.
Verdict accordingly.
