Is there any knowledgeable member who can tell me if coroners reports for the Wareham and Dorchester areas still exist for the period 1845 - 1850, and where they may be found. Also which newspapers for that period would have served Wareham and Dorchester, that would have recorded events of note ?? Many thanks in advance ... Peter Hammett
