I am looking for any information on the death of a Thomas WILSON who died as a result of an accident 'while intoxicated' having fallen down the cellar steps of a pub! I'm not sure that this is the actual person I need but more info may tell me either way :-)
There was a inquest into the death of Thomas which was reported in the Cumberland Pacquet on 17/03/1829 and from what I can glean from the article, Thomas died on the 25/02/1829 but it may be a day or two either side. He has a burial date of 28/02/1829 in Wigton cemetery. I would love to have details of his death certificate and/or the full inquest details if anyone has any of these details.
Thanks for reading :-)

There will not be a certificate; civil registration began in July 1837.

Sorry, didn't mean certificate, the registration of his death in whatever format.

There might be some information in the burial register; if you are lucky the Coroner's file will have survived and be held in the county archives.
