Samuel Grimshaw (1848-1886) Manchester

[TEBBR]

I'm searching for the results of an inquest into Samuel's death. According to his death record, he was "found drowned in the Rochdale Canal" on 2 Jun 1886. An inquest was held on 4 Jun 1886 and a certificate issued by Deputy Coroner Sydney Smelt of Manchester. Would anyone know where to locate the certificate or get the results of the inquest? I have seen instances where the inquests results have been published in what appears to be a newspaper, but have not been able to locate one for Samuel.

Thanks

Yes that is the death, I'm trying to find the results of the inquest, if a report exists outside the death record.

Hi David, I had no luck finding it in the newspapers either, I am hoping there is an archive out there from the Coroner's office.
