Cardiff Coroners Report - 1964

[loulaing]

I am wondering if anyone can help me as I live in the USA and google hasn't helped me.
My Father- in -Law, Dr John Wannan Laing died on 21/6/64 at Lansdowne Hospital in Cardiff. An inquest was heard on the 23 and 30th June 1964, as he died from injuries sustained when his car was hit by a lorry.
Would anyone be able to see if there was any mention of this at the time in a local paper?
Does anyone know how long inquest papers are held before they become public?
Many thanks for any help you are able to offer.

Hello  Louise

Welcome to Rootschat!

Cardiff Coroner's records 1951 - 1977 (Reference: GB 0214 CORC) are held at Cardiff Record Office, so it is worth contacting them to find out the data protection rules.

Hello Louise

I have now been able to go to Cardiff Library and have found a record of the accident verdict in the South Wales Echo.
Do you wish me to print it out for you ? I do not think that I can send you a PM at the
moment as you have not made three postings.
