A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack of food.
Another “poor, hunger-starved beggar boy” is found in the street and carried into a house, where he dies. 
 A four-year-old local boy dies “for want of food and means,” as does his mother.
You hear the story of a man leaving his home and walking hundreds of miles in search of work or food and returning after a couple of months with sufficient money only to find that his wife and children have all since died.
These four are clear explicit examples of starvation during Elizabethian times, since England faced hard times during Elizabethian times, since the population grew larger by a third, and the resources stayed the same, they had to divide the same products between more people.
