Hi,

Have you contacted the local archives to ask if they have the file?  Survival of inquest reports is variable unfortunately.

Is there a very active family history society  inthat area who may have members that can help. Sometimes societies build their own database up or you may get relatives /friends and their relatives who have kept  who have kept newspaper clippings.
