i have just looked at the site and the records they hold are not for 1921 , they are 1873  -1893  then jump to 1942 - 1967 so mine are not there unless i read it incorrectly but thanks

i have also looked at the link given on hear for newspapers and the newcastle journal are only 1826 - 1834 then jump to 1926 - 1928 so again no luck the norther echo are 1917 - 1922 so maybe in there but i doubt it

Under the Home Office Circular 250/1967, a schedule of destruction of coroners records is laid down.Once 15 years old the records can be weeded, that is destroyed or sampled by the individual coroner concerned. There are exceptions to the 15 year destruction, and apparently it is not compulsory so some coroners choose not to destroy them. Individual Coroners decided what happened to the papers, and very many of them were destroyed by the coroner  hence  there are variations in survival.
