The most likely place will be a report in the local newspaper shortly after the date of the inquest. contact the library local to the event, they may have back copies of the newpaper in question or can advise you where they are held - ie: larger library in the next biggest town. Copies of all newspapers are all Collingdale but that would involve a trip - the local library may well send you a copy by return email (if you ask very nicely) Good luck Snowdrops

Hi I found a write up in the local newspaper for a drowning I had in my tree for 1898. It may be worth trying the local library to where it happened. Margaret

If you can't find your papers, PM me. I can look at the national archive at Colindale, but would need an idea of which papers and when. Thanks Jim
