Malcolm I joined from Tenerife about a year okay and they sent me a log on number I thought I'd lost this number and applied again and was told it was Uak residents only. Luckily I have now found the number so I can use it again now. So I guess they have changed the terms and conditions at some point.

Thanks for all your information, Chris I am listening to this now, very interesting.

I will search the papers when I next visit Manchester Library

Thanks

Their website does still say anyone in the UK

However, have just checked the BNA and there's nothing coming up in the papers for that time. If there were no unusual circumstances (e.g. accident or foul play) then I'm not sure that an inquest would be reported on.

Re Lancashire Libraries, I tried to apply (From Spain) less than a week ago and they stated that U.K. residents only may apply ..per the terms and conditions on their website. (someone on GR Community suggested this was not so hence I gave it a try) I'd be surprised if they've narrowed it down to Lancashire only in that time.

I keep plugging this but it really is worth a listen....

Thanks both of you, I was thinking of newspaper maybe, can I view them online anywhere, I am thinking maybe Manchester Evening News, as they lived in the Manchester area, Bradford, Beswick,

an inquest is held into any death were a doctor was not in attendance when that person died, to find out you would need to contact the local coroner office were the inquest was held. they may not have the records, as some offices destroy the records after 15 years. if they still have the records the hundred year rule may apply. it may be worth you checking the local press were the death happened

for the same reasons as an inquest would be held today.Not been see by aDR for whatever the time span is

I have the death certificate of my gg grandfather Henry Stirrup, which says he died aged 71 on 2nd January of heart failure, due to bronchitis, something else I cant read and natural causes. It says that an inquest was held on January 4th 1924.

Just wondered if anyone knew why an inquest would have been held and where can I find out more information.

Thanks for any help.
