hi there,
I tried to get a report from 1843 and they said at that time that they filed a lot of reports in the bin. But you might also be caught out in the 100 year closure unless you are a very close blood relative. Data protection. You would have to check tht up, also try the local papers as it could have been in there.
thanks

You should be able to get a copy of the coroners report from that date as i dont think that forms part of the 100 year rule, obviously depends on what your relationship to the deceased is

i worked in a solicitors dealing with miner's claims and we used to obtain them for that purpose, we didnt need any permission from family members etc as we just used to write them a letter and they would charge between £25-£50 for the report
