Then the next step is to search newspaper archives, that's where I found some details.

Patrica,

I think you'll find that they are destroyed after 7yrs !

I remember asking my son that worked for a Coroner a few years back .

Maggie, had they been destroyed by the coroner's office or like the others, destroyed by bombing in the war? Or some other unforseen disaster like fire or flood?

I London, only those records from September 1939 survived the blitz, because for some reason those had been removed from the archive at the time, nobody knows why.

I know that Portsmouth records did not survive at all, as my Great Grandfather's record was among them.
