Title: Inquest Records
Post by: Bright76.. on Wednesday 19 July 23 00:10 BST (UK)

Hi all,

I have the birth and death records for a relative who died as an infant in 1949. His death record states that two inquests were held as his cause of death was disputed.

My question is.... Is there any way to access old inquest records, are they archived somewhere? This was a Dublin coroner who gave evidence at the inquest.

Anything I've read online is about more recent inquests. Anyone have any experience dealing with access to older ones?

Many thanks

Have you checked through newspapers for that time period? they often reported on inquests.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I did try the papers but had no joy. I know the inquest dates but there was nothing published on those dates or the week after.
