If a post mortem is shown on the death certificate for 1856 - is there anywhere I can access post mortem records for that time? |

I have not had any success as it looks like they did not keep the records for very long. Your only hope maybe the local paper. Have you tried the Times Newspaper which is free to search on the net.Good Luck Irene |

A post mortem would not be reported in the local paper.It is a medical examination of a dead body and there is nothing newsworthy about it, unless it is part of an inquest. Is the death cert signed by the Coroner? If so, this means there was an inquest - you may find that reported in the local paper. OC |

Hi Val I found an inquest for one of mine on A2A site - I've seen quite a few on there. In terms of useful information, it didn't provide much - it was just a handwritten sheet of paper, but was curiously amusing compared to today's inquests - the doctor concluded: 'She looked like someone who had been struck by lightning'. Very scientific, lolol! Bev x |
