Coroners Report

[ang1985]

Sometime back I posted on here and asked whether it was possible to find a coroners report from 1863 for a 12 year old ancestor who had died as a result of an accidental gunshot wound in Banningham, Norfolk,. The advice given at the time was to get in touch with Norfolk Record Office which I have finally got round to doing. What I am wondering though is what a Coroners Report will tell me, I have found a tiny newspaper clipping from the time and I also have the death certificate so is the Coroners Report going to give me any more information if indeed it still exists?.

I doubt the coroners report, if it survives, will have any more informtion than the newspaper report (have a look at other newspapers, newsworthy stories travelled far and wide) and the death cert.

Thanks for that, I did think that may be the case
