The earliest records are indexed on Hertfordshire Names Online and date from 1827 to 1933 the record you are looking for in 1942 so it wouldn't show

Click on Contact us about Coroner’s records in the archive and hopefully you should be able to send them an email.

EDIT to add

Have you checked local newspapers to see if there's anything mentioned there?

You can search BNA, it is a subscription site but you can view 3 pages free when you register to help you get started https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk

Newspaper and periodicals are also available on  F M P if you have a subscription - I had a look on F M P and BNA site but I didn't find an entry for Louisa Badham year 1942  ???

Thank you for that about archives I have sent request to them 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Let us know how you get on

What an interesting story .
Well done finding all is violet Elizabeths step father's   
DNA would be interesting to find descendants of her half siblings but also maybe to turn up the birth father

There is a small chance that Bessie BROOKER
Took the putative father to court
In which case you could look for an affiliation order held in local record offices but if she was destitute in 1914 she either didn't do this or failed in her appeal .

Good luck ....looking forward to hearing more !

Hi all, no luck with Hertfordshire archives regarding inquest on Louisa Badham they have no record it’s a shame as it would have helped to learn more about the accident 🤔
