    1. Re: [TGF] Yorkshire England Coroners Inquest
    2. Ann: A couple of ideas to try are: 1. Look in the National Archives UK "Access to Archives" catalog to see if you can discover which, if any of the local Yorkshire Archives or Local Studies Libraries might contain the Dewsbury Coroner's records for 1893. All regional archives are supposed to be included in this master catalog but I can tell you from experience that not everything from every regional archive is included. 2. The death might have been reported in the newspaper. findmypast.co.uk is available at Family History centers free of charge and this site now includes newspapers. Two Leeds papers and two Yorkshire papers are covered in 1893. Alternatively you can use www/findmypast.co.uk or www/britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ online. Short term subscriptions are available at both these sites.

Does anyone know if these records are available for research and where they might be located? The cause of death that generated the inquest was a fall due to hanging clothes up to dry.
