The references won't be to coroners as these don't exist in Scotland. There may be a record of a Fatal Accident Inquiry from the Sheriff Court. Your next step should be to get hold of the Register of Corrected Entries for these certificates which may give further details of the cause of death and any inquiry- I believe these are due on-line at Scotlandspeople very soon. For the mining accident you may find more information here http://www.mining-villages.co.uk/index.html Cheers Pete >Hi Listers >I too jumped at the 20 free credits at Scotland's People, and could not >stop there.
