It appears that only one of the inquests have been found in the Maitland Mercury, however, the writers of the book have stated that they have not necessary got all reports that did appear in the newspapers so it would be worth a look in the Maitland Mercury around the time of the death. I have found all the details of an inquest one of my ancestors, and it contained a wealth of information.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Ann Musgrave
