Coroners Report

[Mat]

Hi Everyone,
                     a quick question does anyone out there know how I would be able to get a coroners report of a death in 1952/53 in Ayr if at all possible
  Thanx Mat

Mat,

See my reply to your identical post in the Common Room.

In Scotland you need to look for Fatal Accident Inquiries, held under the auspices of the Procurator Fiscal.

For a 1950s FAI the record may have been transferred to National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh, or it may still be archived at Ayr Sheriff Court.

The full thread re the query from 'Mat' is over on the Common Room.

It can be found at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,72732.0.html

Though perhaps you have already seen the reference there (from me) to the Univ Dundee site at:
http://www.dundee.ac.uk/forensicmedicine/llb/deathinvestig.htm

There's also (from Falkyrn) a better reference which is to the official Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal site at:

RootsChat is a very friendly and helpful forum - enjoy!
