Laura, Very few survive for the county of Herefordshire as a whole, mainly just those for Hereford itself, and the coverage is patchy to say the least, your best second bet is reports in the newspapers.

Hi Phil, Thanks for this, at least some Herefordshire reports survive. Up here no Coroner's reports have survived to reach the Teesside Archives, luckily their local paper collection is superb, and I found a good account of an inquest for someone who needed a lookup. Would you happen to know which local paper would have covered the Bishop's Frome area in 1862?
