Wellington Archives Lookup

[Rokkonz]

Hi,

Just wondering whether anyone that is going to the Wellington Archives may be able to lookup this inquest file please? I am interested in any information that can help identify who this man was, such as... spouse or childrens names, age, his home address etc.

From: Coroner, Port Chalmers Date: 19 November 1874 Subject: Inquest proceedings on Alexander Sinclair (R24322180)
https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24322180

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi

oops ... sorry, have just removed the info I'd posted so as not to confuse.      It applied to another Alexander SINCLAIR who had died earlier in 1874.

Hi Lucy2,

You were correct the first time, I am after the inquest for Alexander Sinclair who died in Portobello, Dunedin in late April 1874. The coroner was based in Port Chalmers, Dunedin as listed in my previous post.


The other Alexander Sinclair that you are referring to died 5th September 1874 in Wellington as below.
From: Coroner, Wellington Date: 22 September 1874 Subject: Inquest proceedings on Alexander Sinclair (R24321874) https://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=24321874

Cheers

Thanks very much Spades,

the inquest provided exactly what I was after and it has ended a 2 year mystery for me and a much longer one for many other family members.

your help is greatly appreciated (yet again).

Cheers
