Inquests

Death certificates are looked upon, by some researchers, as the poor relation of the certificate world.  Admittedly they do not contain as much genealogical information as birth or marriage certificates but they come into their own when they contain the word 'Inquest'.  This can lead to Coroners' records or the local newspapers as inquests were invariably recorded in the latter,

Here are the details of the inquests that I have found in local (Brighton) newspapers.  These reports can also be found at the appropriate points on this site.  The amount of copy varies from a paragraph to major articles in several newspapers.
