We know that Enoch was supposed to have fallen while working and broke his back but when I saw on his burial record there was a Coroner's report, I thought I would try to get a copy. However, as I said I was told the records for the Forest of Dean Division "did not survive" so how then are they being posted here unless it was a particular section/area of the Forest that was missing.

I have been to Cinderford Library and looked at The Forester but could not find anything which I found strange as Enoch was a well known Mason in the area. However, those microfilm machines always run away with me so I may have missed it! What other local papers are there which might contain this information? I suppose it means going to the Gloucester Records Office to search them out.

I have not yet sent for the death certificate but will be doing so shortly.
