The coroners records I've seen at WGAS are individual cases each in a manilla folder. Not a lot of papers in the ones I saw but useful stuff like the names of the coroner's jury, circumstances and cause of death. Quite interesting.

Checked the Cambrian Article - does refer to John not David Hosea Jones but clearly an error. Very little in the article.

Checked the Coroner's records and took a copy of the inquest into David's death. It includes 2 descriptions from witnesses. They appear beautifully written by the Clerk recording the statements but, unfortunately, are virtually imposible to read - and I was reading the originals!!

Overall, they don't add to much, if anything, to David's personal details.

Can send images if you would like - need your e.mail address via PM.

All the addresses are within the immediate vicinity of St Peters Church, Cocket which does have a burial ground.  :)
