Hi Colin, Did you ever find more info. as to what happened to Annie Lewis Charman/Harding/Buffy.
According to son Laurence on his Marr Cert. he put her as Nancy Lawrence and was deceased in 1937.
Was this her "Stage-name"?.  Best wishes, Syljun

Hi again
no further progress from me, but well done for finding the sons marriage cert. I just had a look for deaths of Nancy Lawrenc and Annie L Lawrence to no avail.

Did we ever eliminate the death in 1931 of Annie L Harding, age 44 in Brentford?

Could I have a copy of teh sons cert please?

Regards, Colin Charman

Hi Colin, did you receive Copy Marr. Certs.
They are copies of photographed copies sent to me by a very kind Australian Researcher Ros who spent time photographing Divorce papers in Archives.
Regards, Syjun

Hi Colin, Albert James Charman (DoB 31/7/1885 - my Grand Uncle) died of a fractured skull and lacerated brain after falling out of a moving train on 27th February 1922. According to the death certificate an inquest was held on 1st March 1922. Would you know if its possible to get a copy of the inquest report? Regards Peter Charman

Hi Peter
I found an FAQ that suggests that you have a right to looks at the report - but it needs a bit more research to find out how and what it might cost. see http://www.coronerscourtssupportservice.org.uk/faq-s/#34

I had a look at Access-to-Archives http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/coroners-inquests.htm.  It looks like inquest reports might be held locally.

Perhaps a phone call to the coroners court for the area where he died might point you in the right diercetion. As he died at Lancing or Portslade, it might be best to start in Brighton.

Hi Colin, did you make any headway with the French Connection as to Annie Charman. Son Jean Edmund Buffy married 1943 at Lot et Garonne . Stated Edmund Francis Buffy (Father) Farmer at Lafitte Sur Lot. Mum  Annie Charman deceased. Would love to know when Annie died but difficult to obtain French info. Syljun

Hi, no further forward on Annie, I'm afraid. I still wonder if she's the Annie L Harding who died in 1931 in Brentford - but theres no probate record for her

Thanks Colin, I spoke to the Coroners Office in Brighton and they are helping me track down the inquest report. I also intend to pop down to Brighton in the next few weeks to hunt down any newspaper reports of grand Uncle Alberts death!
