Member Since: March 2009 Posts: 7 Send Message	Hi, Can anyone tell me where is the best place to find a copy of a coroners/ inquest report from 1880. My GGGM died in suspicious circumsatances in Bebington in 1880 The inquest was held in late August early September 1880 by a Henry Churton who was coroner for south Cheshire at the time. I have tried the internet but keep coming up with lots of dross not related to what I am looking for. Thanks in advance for any help Billy B

	Hi Billy. I think Coroners Inquest reports are only kept for 7yrs now....So back in the nineteenth century not much luck . But you could ring the Coroners Office in Bebington and ask !! Good luck.
