Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Kent Coroner's Inquests

Found out that the coroner's name was actually Charles Joseph Carttar, a solicitor from Greenwich, and that his area was West Kent. Got this info from the newspaper site you showed me.
Many thanks once again for all your kind help and advice. Seems I might just have to let this one go.

Hello Susan,
Thanks so much for your advice. On the death certificate it says that coroner for Kent performed the post-mortem and that his name was Charles Joseph Crutten (the surname is hard to read and I am not sure of the spelling). It does not state that he was the coroner for a particular area of Kent, just that he was 'the coroner for Kent'. I'll have a look and try to find out a bit more about him.
I have had a quick look at the newspaper site, and although I could not find anything about the inquest, it did help me to find other information about the family, so thanks very much indeed for that! Very kind of you to post.

Kent Lookup Requests / Kent Coroner's Inquests
« on: Sunday 27 January 13 06:09 GMT (UK)  »
Would some kind soul please be kind enough to do a look up, or give me some advice? I am currently in Japan, so cannot get down to the Kent History & Library Centre myself.
I recently got a death certificate for someone who I believe to be one of my great-great-grandfather's siblings. Its for an Elizabeth Elston, who died aged 1 on the 12th February 1863, in Deptford. The death certificate says that there was an Inquest held on the 16th February 1863, by the coroner for Kent. I was just wondering if I could get hold of this inquest, as it may give me more information about my family then.
I understand that not many inquests have necessarily have survived, but if anybody could give me any help it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hello,

My Great-grandfather was Walter Nelson Drew, Joseph Holland Drew's younger brother. Presently I am researching Frederick John Staunton Drew, their other brother, who was killed in action in WW1. Perhaps we might be able to help each other out?
I have their baptism records from Ireland. Their father Frederick Julius Drew (my great-great grandfather), was also in the 17th Lancers and fought in South Africa.
Hope to hear from you,

Chris
