Inquest Reports

[LinnetLegs]

Morning,
to see an inquest report do I need to go in person to an archive?

I am looking for an inquest report for an accident that happened in Derbyshire in 1858.

Sarah Slater fell from a cart and suffered a head injury and died.

I haven't turned up any reports in newspaper archives other than to say she had been in an accident - no details on the nature of the accident.

Where would I go to find further information?

I have attached her death certificate for info.

Thanks in advance.
Paul

My first stop would be to contact the Derbyshire Records Office. There is a helpful guide for Derbyshire here:

Good luck!
