George CLACK was buried at Clanfield on 12 July 1852 age 14 having drowned while bathing There were 3 George Clack's baptised at Clanfield 1836-1837-1838,one of them in my tree,there would have been an inquest, is there a newspaper likely to have carried a report ? I thought it was "my" George born 1838 but doubt has been thrown on this assumption !! Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jackson's Oxford Journal (Oxford, England), Saturday, July 17, 1852; Issue 5177. There is a report in the above newspaper. It reads: 'BAMPTON A young man of Clanfield, named Clack lost his life by drowning, at Radcott, on Saturday last. He left his companions while at dinner on that day, and went to bathe, and unfortunately got out of his depth, and was drowned before assistance could be vendered him. An inquest was held the same day, and, after the evidence had been given, the Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death".'

It may well show up in JOJ, but -- you may have already thought of this angle -- there are two George marriages: Nov 6 1858 George CLACK (father not known) to Rachel Hawkes Jan 29 1859 George CLACK (s Joseph) to Sarah Brooks. It's no more than a guess, but maybe the one who didn't get married is the one who drowned :-) DaveB

A newspaper report is the best you could hope for. I assume you have the death certificate already? Coroners' reports are the personal property of the coroner and many were destroyed by coroners.
