Hi All, was wondering if anyone can help me find an inquest/info into the death of William Smales (Smailes), found hung in an outhouse at Warkworth on 1st June 1838. Not registered until 28th June so I imagine there was an investigation, although he seems to have been buried on 5th June.
A very helpful lady at Woodhorn had a look for an inquest but said they don’t go back that far, so I imagine the only records could be in newspapers but I have drawn a blank.
Any ideas? Thanks, Gordon.
