Hi,
Is it possible to find out any info regarding an inquest?
The woman died in Cardiff, on 12th Dec 1921, and the inquest was held on 13th in Cardiff.
The lady was Violet Mabel BAVERSTOCK - age 27, died from disease of the heart.
I am not sure if records are made public.

Thanks
Sally

Inquests are often reported in the local newspaper at the time.

You could try contacting the library local to that area to see if they can find anything.

Records are closed for 75 years however after 15 years, from the date created, they can be destroyed or sampled by the individual Coroner concerned.
