Hello,

I have the death certificate for my ggg Grandmother Ann Beard who died in Lydney. The cert advises "certificate received from Mr F Carter for Forest Division County of Gloucester Inquest held sixteenth March 1888". Cause of death was apoplexy. I've searched the inquests in the parish records section but can find no trace.

Is this something that I should find here, is it part of a set awaiting transcription or perhaps it's not something that would have been set out in these records and I'm misunderstanding something. The latter point is the most likely!!! Nonetheless, thanks for any help.

FOD records

17 March 1888 - Lydney

Ann BEARD
address: High Street
Age at death: 74
Officiating Minister - E Louis C Clapton
Event: Burial

Memorandum (in margin) - By Coroners Warrant

googling Coronors Warrant - appears to mean something about 'permission for the burial to take place' etc

1871 Census, High Street, Lydney

Nathaniel BEARD - 63 - labourer, born Glos. Framilode?
Ann BEARD - 58 - born Lydney

March 1888 is one of the start/end points for the batches of transcribed Inquests.

So perhaps the original is missing in Glos Archives.
or
was simply overlooked :-(
