Hi Jamjar,

Thanks for the information.  It appears that the inquests haven't been kept for that time.

Did they say where you would find the information?

Hi Jamjar,

I found the information on their website. I tried for an inquest in Western Australia and they have been destroyed so I guess that will be the case in New South Wales.

[John Pride]

Ros,

Please reply to this message if you will.  I am John Pride, descended from Colonel Thomas Pride and a Pride in Chesterfield County, Virginia.  We've been in this area since the mid-1600's, with some evidence of the wanderings of Pride's from here, across the U. S..

You say of NSW State Records  "inquests haven't been kept for that time."
1959 is only about 50 years ago.  Did they say they haven't been kept or that they did not have them?
Maybe they are still at the Coroner's Court?

Could it be that they are not currently available - 50 years isn't long, and records usually have an 'age' at which they are realised because of privacy laws. Maybe 50 years is too current.

What were you hoping to get from the inquest records? Perhaps the papers will have more information on his death.
