You can ask the relevant County Record Office - for London it is the London Metropolitan Archives - whether the records have survived or not. A lot of old Coroners reports unfortunately have not survived. The next thing to do is to search the old newspapers at either the record office or Colindale. Some record offices will search for you and send copies - best thing would be to e-mail begging for help! If not, then put a request on the Record Office board and maybe someone will be going to the right place. Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm too much, but don't assume that you will find something - I have just been through this process and found no trace anywhere of the inquest I was seeking in 1859. Hopefully though for 1910 you may be luckier. Happy hunting. Maz. XX
