Hi all. Would anyone be able to advise on this please. Just got a death cert for an ancestor who died on the 19th Jan 1857 but whos death wasnt registered until the 15th June 1857 by the coroner. The cause of death doesnt seem suspicious, rupture of a blood vessel in lungs. Would there be a reason for this and is there anywhere that might have futher info? Regards, Claire x |

It may be because his employment may have had a bearing on his death, e.g a coalminer or similar and if the death can be attributed to an occuption compensation would be an issue or a pension to the spouse or family. The coroner would want certain enquiries carried out following the P.M. leading up to the inquest. You might write to the corner to see if he can give you any more info from records or try and archive the local paper to see if the case was repoted on. lol. |

Might be a bit far fetched, but could your relative have been stabbed to death? Could be worth having a quick glance at blacksheep to see if anyone was executed for a murder around the same time in the same area. |

Hello to you both, My ancestor, Stephen Dobson was 68 when he died and was listed as just a labourer all his life. I suppose it depends on what type of labour work he did. What is blacksheep? I suppose that could be a reason for the delay but wouldnt something be mentioned on the death cert that he was murdered? Stephen was from Great Bedwyn and the coroner was from Chippenham, Regards, Claire |

Hi Claire I have a coroner advised death for my great grandmother in 1918 - she 'dropped down dead' at home, and I believe the coroner was involved because there was no 'obvious' sign of a cause of death until a post mortem had been carried out. The official cause of death is shown as 'cerebral haemourrage' I also have one that was 'coroner advised' - my great aunts husband shot himself and committed suicide in Brighton in 1963 - the death cert was issued a week later after a 'coroners inquest'. Could just be that it was a sudden death. regards Looby |
