Found dead in Newcastle
« on: Friday 23 March 07 01:30 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me with this please? I have a death cert for Edward Edgar, my g/g gradfather. He died 24th December 1845 at High Bridge, Newcastle on Tyne, Northumberland. Cause of death is simply "Found dead".  The death was registered 16th January 1846 and the Newcastle Coroner is shown as informant. I would be grateful if anyone could find information regarding his death. Perhaps there was a newspaper/police/coroner's report.  ??? I have my fingers crossed, thanks.
I am sorry but my email address is not working.

Hi :)
Welcome to rootschat :)
I find that newspapers are your best bet for something like this, they are usually kept at the main library for the area.

This link should give some help http://www.genuki.bpears.org.uk/NBL/NCLLib/index.html

happy hunting
