Stalybridge Inquest

[Jena]

Hi Everyone

This is my first posting on RootsChat which I think is a terrific site.

I am hoping that someone can help me with the following information.

I have an ancestor - Richard Lock who died in Stalybridge, Lancashire (District Ashton-under-line) on October 2nd 1882. His inquest was held on October 3rd 1882 -  Coroner for Cheshire -  F.W. Johnson.  

Can anyone tell me how I can access further details concerning this inquest?

Thank You
Jena

Hi Jena,

And Welcome to Rootschat.  

This thread has some useful information about finding inquest information.

Let us know if it helps,  if not we will persevere and get to the bottom of it if we can.

Hello Kazza  

thanks a lot for that info. As I am in Oz I took a chance and emailed Stalybridge Library. A very helpful librarian found a report of the inquest in the local paper and a copy is on the way by post. Amazing what you can dig up after almost 150 years and a bit of help from your friends!

Cheers Jena
