Coroners Inquests

[supermoussi]

Where, if anywhere, can I find Coroners Reports for the South-East corner of Oxfordshire in the 1860s? Thanks.

Have you tried here

http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/content/oxfordshire-history-centre-collections

from experience though, many records do not survive and you may have more luck with a newspaper item if the death was newsworthy enough.

Thanks Dawnsh. 

Yes, I have tried the Newspaper archives online and no joy there.

I guess the Coroners' files at Oxon RO are the next stop..

btw, are they indexed by any chance???

[dawnsh]

If they survive, they are most probably in date order, but few survive.

You'll need to ask them.

Ok, thanks Dawn
