British Library Newspapers in Colindale should have a copy (see http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelprestype/catblhold/all/allcat.html).

Coroners' reports quite often appear in more than one newspaper. If you provide the name and date of death of the individual others may be able to check whether the report appears elsewhere.

There is nothing in the Essex Standard according to the search on the Essex County Library website.

It's possible there may be a report in Essex Telegraph. Not sure about that either as the death took place in Barking which may not be in the North Essex issues.

Hi,

There is an identical request to this one, entitled Essex Times, on the Essex Lookup Requests by Ihurtubise.

George Warner died Feb. 21, 1891.

Barnardo's stated in admission report:
"A letter from Mr. Edward M. Glenny, of the North African Mission, 19 and 21, Linton Road, Barking, enclosing a newspaper cutting form the Essex Times of February 28th, 1891, first brought this case to our notice. The cutting in question contains a long report of the coroner’s inquest held upon the body of George Warner, the boy’s father, who died suddenly a few days previously, at 1, Emily Cottages, Fisher Street, Barking."

The boy in question is my great-grandfather who was sent to Canada by Barnardo. Geno 500 is trying to help me find a copy of the newspaper clipping. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
