Connie is correct. Coroners keep records for a period of (IIRC) fifteen years, after which they can dispose of them as they see fit. Only in exceptional(1) circumstances are reports kept for longer. By all means contact the relevant Coroner's Office and County Record Office to see if they have anything. Otherwise, it's local newspapers. When I say local newspapers, I don't necessarily mean just those local to the area of the death. I have several reports of a death in Kent picked up from places as far afield as Aberdeen, Exeter and Cardiff. Whilst these reports are obviously all based on the same root story they quote or paraphrase it in different ways. Strangely, the most complete story seems to be the one in the Aberdeen paper. Perhaps there was a lack of local news that week. (1) I've no concrete idea what might be determined as exceptional. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" People stare like they've seen a ghost Titanic (My Over) Reaction - 999
