My g grandfather was run over by a train and an inquest was held.

He died in Stainforth, South Yorkshire, and the local paper was the Doncaster Gazette. I had his death certificate so searched from that date onwards.
The original documents from the coroner will probably not exist. ( not many live that long) but all the info will have been reported. I discoverd a few things from the paper that i didn't know.

Good luck with your search.

P.S. like you username, why didn't i think of that one. (my twins are 5)

no luck with either death for a write up of the inquest in the papers.
oh well, i think ive gone down every avenue with those now...

hello all!
I wonder if anyone can help - I have been using the above site to search for any family of a couple of surnames.....the one I have just searched for is Booth.
Using just the surname and country search it obviously returned with thousands of entries...and when i searched through one of the lists - IGI - it stopped at 5000, at Cheshire. which is no good for me cos i want the county near the end of the list!!! similar happened when i searched another surname and searched through the ancestral file part...gives you only so many.
seems such a waste of time....i spent an hour looking through this list only to be stopped half way through!
Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?
Am I doing something wrong?
Or am I expecting too much from an international site that must get thousands of hits every minute??
any advice/help would be gratefully received!!!!!!!!
cheers

hello,
i wonder if i could beg another look up please?
Im trying to find a family called Booth...got a household record on 1881 census, but they seem to have disappeared in the 1891 cnesus.
from the 1881 census;
head - Aaron Booth  age 62 born Eckington,York, england
wife - Frances Ann Booth age 48 born sheffield, york, england
daur - Emily Booth age 13 born sheffield, york, england
dwelling at this point 58 Furnival Street, Sheffield.

i cant find any reference of either birth or death of Aaron or Frances,
by the 1901 census Emily was married to George Rodwell, but no reference to Frances still being alive.

im getting really frustrated with this side of the family (my mothers grand mother is emily)! 

many thanks for looking..
