Newspaper and inquest reports 1999
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 14:01 BST (UK) »
Rather modern family history this!

Just received my father's death certificate and discovered that he drowned in the River Stour in Kent in 1999. I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of newspaper archives etc for that date online.

Thanks

Hi Kath

Oh that's so sad :'(

Given the area covered by the Stour, it would most likely be the coroner for Central and South East Kent but there won't be any coroner's records online http://www.rootschat.com/links/049b/

Regarding newspapers, is there a more precise location mentioned on the certificate only it covers quite a wide area see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Stour,_Kent
