Title: Inquest Report
Post by: timetraveller on Tuesday 05 June 12 14:03 BST (UK)

Hi All

Can anyone tell me the cost of a copy of an inquest report please?  Also where do I send for it from please?

I have a death certificate for 1908 for a family member and would like to get a copy and I've never got one before.

Thanks in advance.

Try Gwent Archives for Monmouthshire.
 I know Denbighshire Archives  has an index to inquests held there , not online - you have to phone them.
Also it`s worth looking for a report in the papers.
I sent for an inquest for a death in 1928 and found there was much more in the newspaper report.

 I have just noticed dates are 1866-1883. , but I `m sure they will advise you.

The main Newport Library on John Frost Square is worth a try, and as suggested local newspapers are a good source and the library hold a big selection of archived newspapers.

It`s also worth looking for an obituary at the same time , they are very useful in  naming relatives.
