	It depends as not all coroners reports have been kept, I have been lucky & have the coroners report of my Grt Grandfather who died in 1898, best to get in touch with your local records office, if they havn't got the coroners report they may have a news paper clipping, I have found most records offices most helpful.

	very few inquest reports were kept, you could check with the local records office to see if this is one of the few that survived. The inquests were always reported in the local paper however. The papers are on film in the nearest library which has a family history section. Google for the library in the town you need. They usually offer a look up service which won't cost much because yo uknow the date of the inquest from the cert Linda
