Title: Inquest February 1881
Post by: ALAMO2008 on Thursday 05 March 26 15:18 GMT (UK)
I have a Death of a John Tate who Died at a Pit in Easington on 11 February 1881 and an Inquest on 12th February 1881
But the Death Certificate doesnt give his Home address or whether he was Married and had a Widow Jane
so we cant be sure it is him.
Can anyone find a Newspaper Article that week that gives more information ?

Sorry, I couldn't find anything on FindMyPast's newspapers.

Coincidentally there was a report of an inquest in Seaton Carew (roughly 10 miles South of Easington) on 15 Feb 1881 into a fatality,  in which a man named John Tate was a witness.

I take it Jane is a widow on the 1881 census?

Thanks ShaunJ that agrees the Death Cert and helps
Thanks Everyone for your Input
My Sister in Law had her Ancestor go to Ohio in 1866 as a Miner from Easington
On the 1870 Ohio Census with Wife and 3 Children all born Durham
Then in 1872 her Granddad John Thomas Tate was born in Ohio
 Yes Milliepede - The Next Information shows Jane Tait on Durham 1881 Census as a Widow with her 4 Children
It was thought John Snr died in a Mine Disaster but we dont know if it was in Ohio and the Widow and Family came back to Easington
I found this February 1881 Death and assumed it could be him but the Information doesnt really clarify if it is him.
