The accident and inquest would be most likely to be reported in a paper local to Garston. I would look at that because it may well give family details. Who reported his death on his death certificate? Was it the coroner? What was his occupation on the death certificate?

Do you have the man on censuses earlier? If so please post. Where and when was the son born ?

Lots of questions but to help we need all the details.
