Hi
I have a death certificate from 1856 registered in Liverpool, sub district St Martin, it refers to a little girl who was accidentally scalded and is signed by the coroner:- P H Curry he gives his address as Oxton Cheshire, do I assume that this is his office address and the accident occured in Oxton, and if so does anyone know where the records for it might be.
Thanks
Val

That's difficult - a death certificate usually gives the address where the death took place in the second column "When and where died", so if it's not known where it happened I think you are going to have to check both Chester and Liverpool Coroner's records.
There is often mention in the local newspaper of an accidental death, if you could let us have the child's name we could check the Liverpool Mercury for the date and see if anything could be found.

Hi Mary
Thanks for your reply, the child's name was Ann Hart, and the address given was Paget Street. There is a Paget St in Liverpool it was between Boundary St & Athol St and I would say it is in the St Martin's District.
Regards
Val

INQUESTS ON CHILDREN - On Saturday last inquests were held upon the bodies of the following children, who met their deaths accidentally:- On Ann Hart, three years of age, daughter of Morris Hart, a dock-labourer residing in the cellar of No. 9 Paget Street, who was scalded by a pot of boiling tea falling upon her, from the effects of which she died on Friday.
It's doubtful that the Coroner's records would give any more information than was reported.

Death signed by Coroner
Sorry for the delay in replying to this.
After an inquest the Coroner sends a Certificate of Inquest Held or Adjourned to the Registrar in the District where the death occurred.
The Coroner's jurisdiction is usually a County or part of a County and is nowadays described on the Death Certificate.
No relative or Coroner attends at the Register Office to register a death following an inquest. The registration is carried out by the Registrar on receipt of the certificate from the Coroner but he/she does not actually sign.
The key thing to remember is that any birth, marriage or death can only be registered in the District where the event occurred not where the Coroner's address is.
The Coroner's address would nowadays be his office but in the early days of registration may have been his home address.
