After a long search, I finally found the death certificate for my GG Grandfather William Land Points. Apparently he died in Kennington Park Road (Kennington 1st Part, Lambeth, Surrey) after accidentally falling off his wagon! His death cert says that and Inquest was held on 31st March 1871 by the Coroner for Surrey. Does anyone know if this information would still be kept and where abouts I should be looking? Thanks Naomi

Would it be in the local newspapers of the time. inquests were generally reported. maybe kept in the local main library/ Britsh newspaper archive in Colindale, london.
