As an inquest was held the Coroner is the informant. Have you tried the Coroner's office / dept where it was held. As a public document (inquest held) you may be able to get access to it, if they still have it. I see that you have the actual inquest date. Why not give them a quick phone call and see if anyone is prepared to help.

Alexandra she probably had the baby at home and then died from septicaemia so they held a PM to find the cause of death. Georgina.

septicaemia = blood poisoning Septicemia is a serious, life-threatening infection that gets worse very quickly. It can arise from infections throughout the body. ~ incomplete abortions can lead to septicaemia Abortion has been legal in Britain since 1967, but only by permission of two doctors and in restricted circumstances An inquest is a formal process of state investigation. A common type of inquest is a medical examination of any cause of death under suspicious circumstances.

Abortion was illegal.........usually carried out in back street 'clinics' by unqualified people. A miscarriage would not have prompted an inquest. Reg
