Podcast: Coroners’ Inquests (UK)

Coroners' inquests produce a wealth of information for family historians. Ancestors might have been involved in a number of ways, such as members of the jury or another court official or as witnesses. Inquests don't just reveal how someone died - they also show how, where and with whom the deceased lived and how they got on with family, friends and neighbours. Kathy Chater has been tracing her own family history for over 30 years. She has taught genealogy and has written books and articles on the subject, including Tracing Your Huguenot Ancestors and Tracing Your Family Tree in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
