Coroners Records:

For information regarding Coroners records for Tameside contact Greater Manchester County Record Office. Our local newspapers often contain reports of Coroners courts.

The following is taken from the Manchester City Council website:

Coroners’ Records

Unfortunately, coroners’ records frequently have been destroyed. This is certainly the case with the records of the coroner for the city of Manchester, where the only 19th century records to survive are witnesses’ depositions for the dates 22 August 1851 – 24 December 1852, held by our Archives section (ref M381/1/1/1-2). Greater Manchester County Record Office holds 20th century coroners’ records, namely indexes 1918-1998 and inquests 1959-1998. Coroners’ records are closed for 75 years, and permission to see records less than 75 years old would have to be obtained from the Manchester Coroner, and is only given in exceptional circumstances.

In the absence of coroners’ records, a report of any inquest conducted by the coroner for the city of Manchester might be found in local newspapers. Our archives section does hold a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings for the period 1900-1938 (ref M381/2), mostly concerned with coroners’ cases. It is not clear how complete the scrapbook is, and in the absence of an index, we could not search this item on your behalf.
