	As the death occurred more than 75 years ago there shouldn't be too much trouble.

	You could try the Archives local to the area. Lots of inquest reports don't survive, though, so your best bet is probably looking for a report in the local newspaper.

The baby died of suffocation in bed with parents. Accidental death recorded at an Inquest held in 1926. Does anyone know if you can obtain a copy of Inquest papers. Regards Pam
