Coroner's report - what are the chances?

[Parmesan]

An accidental death in 1853.  Death cert says coroner, Mold.

Are those records still likely to exist?

I think you'll find more details about the death in local newspapers than official records (which are less likely to have survived). Have you tried www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk ?

thanks for that link, will have a look.

I just found this, does it sound hopeful?  I don't know how I'd get there though!

Was the death in Flintshire? You just said Wales. If in Flint, the URL you had referred to the records in Mold ().
There is a book which describes Coroners records for each county in England and Wales, giving years available and where located. The book is:

Hope that helpsKind regards

The death was in Dymeirchion which I believe is now Tremeirchion?  As well as the informant's name there is also Peter Parry, Coroner, Mold.

I get confused with my Welsh lot.  It seems to me the county they lived in changed from Denbighshire to Flintshire on a whim (or it could just be me!)

Judging by that link cell, its looking unlikely, shame
