I have just received the death certificate of my 2x great-grandmother Isabella SWAN, PAUL which tells me that she died from "Shock from extensive burns to trunk and extremities in her own house, Newton St, Paisley. 15 hours. Signed Peter Morrison, who saw her two hours before death." I don't wish to appear stupid, but can anyone suggest how she may have died please? Only I would have assumed in a house fire or if her clothes had caught fire, the burns to her body would have been more extensive. Also would there have been an inquest, and if so would the records survive and where would they be kept? Would something like this have been likely to have reached the newspapers? Thank you. Every Blessing, Christine
