Coroner's report
« on: Sunday 16 April 17 19:47 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I have found a burial record for Leonard Barginall, 24 Sep 1793, St John of Wapping, Middlesex,
Tower Hamlets. At the side of the entry, it says, "Drowned Coroner's Warrant.
Would a copy of the report still exist and if so, is there any way that I could see it? Any help would be much appreciated,

Mary

Thank you Groom,

I've just had a look on the link you gave, but not quite sure what I'm doing lol (sorry if I sound thick). I've searched the surname, on the Middlesex one, but nothing came up,

Sadly, I think not. The coroners records for this district (Eastern Middlesex) are at London Metropolitan Archives, not the National Archives. Although many do survive, there is a huge gap in the 1790s with no records at all.

Those that do survive for this period have now all been name-indexed in the online catalogue, so you could check for yourself here ...

LMA's general information leaflet on coroners records is here ...
