coroners court records
« on: Thursday 03 May 07 16:03 BST (UK) »
I have a death certificate for a relative who died in Derby in 1859, it says that there was a coroners inquest held, and gives the name of the coroner and the exact date of the inquest, just wondered if these records would still exist and where I might find them?

Very few Coroner's records survive, but you could always try the County Record Office. Your best bet will be to look for an account in the local newspaper, they are usually as informative as any records you may find.

Good luck

I had a similar situation and found the records of the inquest at Derbyshire record office for about the same date, very comprehensive they were, I was able to get copies

Thanks for your help, was this the records office in Matlock? I wonder if I can email them and get them to copy it.
Best Wishes

Yes, Matlock, I imagine they will charge you for making copies
