I've received a death cert today for a relative who died in a mining accident in 1962. |

Record Offices or Archives may hold Inquest registers but that will give little more than what will appear in newspapers,,date etc, |

I agree with Joan, the local newspapers are a good source. |

Thanks to you all - John would have been my great uncle. I think my first step has to be looking at local press records - will do that in next few days & see where it gets me. Seems that only deaths involving five or more are recorded on the mining website and he not there as less than 5 involved. |

I would certainly recommend Newspapers they have been an invaluable source for me.. An account of an inquest provided me with evidence that I thought would never find, as to the identity of my illegitimate great grandfather's, Father. As he had been called to identify the body and when asked his relationship to the deceased stated that the person in question was his father. |
