Dear Pauline, In view of what MargM has said I doubt if there would be papers at KINGSWOOD. These days an Inquest would be "dispensed with" as during a Post Mortem examination of the body the Medical Officer (Government MO back then) would have submitted his report disclosing that he found xyz in his examination of the heart and brain. Inquests are held where a Doctor who has been treating the deceased can not issue a certificate as to the cause of death, eg treating for heart disease, but run over by a car and died from those injuries. Sincerely,Bill >> >> Hello, >> I was wondering if someone could do a look up for me >> Please, although I am >> not sure if it was >> in the Maitland Mercury.
