Inquest into death of William Stokes 3rd Feb 1880
« on: Sunday 07 January 18 15:35 GMT (UK) »
This rellie of mine died quite tragically on the railway line at Hendon on 1st February 1880.  His death certificate records that there was an inquest on the 3rd.  Anybody know where the coroner's report might be held, if it survives?

Hampstead & Highgate Express - Saturday 7th  Feb 1880
In the 19th Century, public houses were preferred as Coroner's courts because of their size and other facilities.

Thank you very much for this, Stan... :)

I was hoping that it would give more information about him, such as where he was living at the time, but it seems not to be.

If you have a death cert is should give you his age, can you trace him back to previous census

Yes, I know where he is in the censuses (Bethnal Green), but not when he died.  He was living in Bethnal Green when his wife died in 1874, as the address is recorded on her death certificate, but nothing on his death certificate 6 years later, just details about the inquest.
