Coroner Inquests Collection

The Coroner Inquests Collection consists of 9,600 reports of corner inquests from 1891 to 1932. Coroner inquests were made to establish a cause of death. Each inquest record includes basic information about the subject of the inquest (name, age, country of birth, and residence at time of death), date of death, and the cause of death established by the inquest. Additional remarks or notes also are sometimes present.

The Corner Registers, which contain the inquest reports, are available at the County Archives.
