Title: Middlesex Coroner's Report 1870
Post by: Humphreyjohn on Friday 25 November 11 15:00 GMT (UK)

The 16/10/1870 Holborn death certificate of my 3 x greatgrandmother Elizabeth Piguet [nee Allcorn] states that she died following a fall in the street. The certificate adds: "Information received from Edwin Lankester Coroner for Middlesex 23 Gt. Marlboro Street W Inquest held 18th Octr 1870"
Does anyone know if such coroner's reports are available, and where from?
I'm in Canada, so I would have to apply for it by mail or email.
Best regards -  John Humphrey

Hi,

If the papers have survived the London Metrpolitan Archives might have them or know where they might be.

Email the details you have included in the posting.

ask.lmaATcityoflondon.gov.uk            replace AT with @

I've emailed a few times regarding Inquests and found the staff to be very helpful.

Good luck!

Hi

The LMA have a leaflet on Coroners' records they hold.

The survival of Coroners' records can be poor. If a local newspaper covered the inquest that is often the best source for surviving information.
