Title: 1835 death certificate
Post by: itsy_bitsy on Tuesday 20 March 18 06:51 GMT (UK)

I believe that my George Hambridge was found drowned in the Warwick & Birmingham Canal at Budbrooke, August 23, 1835.  Can someone point me in the right direction for finding a burial or newspaper report - I know civil registration in England began in 1837, so there will be no death certificate.
thanks

Lo and behold - I found it.  ;D   But now what to do and where to go with the information?
I found it at http://collections.shakespeare.org.uk/search/archive/view_as/list/page/3160 
I cannot find where I can contact to obtain the coroners inquest.
Can anyone help?

Hello,

Find my Past and British Newspaper Archives (both subscription sites) show a snippet from the Leamington Spa Courier 29th August 1835 mentioning the death.

Regards
Heywood
