Have never had to delve into something like this before

I have a death of a 2 year old in 1914 and an Inquest was held

Can anyone advise how I go about obtaining a copy of the report, it was held in Gravesend, and cost of obtaining this info

Thanks for any help

It is unlikely that the report of the inquest is available. Most inquests are reported in the local newspaper, so the best bet is to contact a library in Gravesend and ask if they have archives of newspapers from that time
