Find Ancestors

Can anyone help please with a brick wall. I can try and give as much info as possible.
Kenneth Duroe c1920 believed born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Died 1950 in Chesterfield area. He was found in the winter time when his body was discovered in a well on the outskirts of Chesterfield, on what I believe was aTimber Yard / land owned by the family. He was found in the Well when the snow cleared.
Not sure what records would be available, newspapers, obituries, I have tried to find anything in the local newspaper Derbyshire Times but cannot find any archives,.
Sorry about the content of information as it is sketchy I know.
Could anyone with experience of these things find out anything e.g. inquests or papers.
Thanks in advance

Local libraries are a good source of newspapers on micro-fiche. Look for the nearest large library to where he died and contact them (Local Studies Officer) . if you have date they may be able to find an inquest report if there was one. Some libraries charge and some don't. I have always found them very helpful

His death certificate would tell you if an inquest was held

if this is him you have his birth date wrong

Sorry, my wife has spoken to her sister and apparently the one suggested is a definate relative, but I misheard and the Kenneth I am trying to find out about died in 1955 and was born c1923 and also he was born around Park Street Boythorpe, Chesterfield.
Sorry for misleading you and thank you for the quick replies.

What was his mother's maiden name please?

The later Kenneth is not showing in a birth search . but may have been mis transcribed.

I'm not seeing a likely death around 1955 either ....

I cannot find any other birth or death for that name in the chesterfield area other than the ones posted above

their is a marriage for him in 1931 to a lady called Miriam Soar i think they had two children a boy and a girl in 1940 and 41 although their looks to be a child born in 1955 with mmn Soar

I just updated the post, but it has gone into a black hole, so here is update again. Basically, I have sent an email for more info. As soon as I get a reply I will update with more information. When I get anything I'll update my post, hopefully get a result from that.
Thanks
Pete

Edit, I think Peter is a little confused and the birth in 1955 may have some thing to do with the confusion,?

Peter, We where waiting for you to come back to the thread as you had said that you would in your last post,

the Birth in 1955 refers to a birth in 1955 for a child born in chesterfield with the mothers maiden name of Soar which is the same as the other two births

If you read the post's again you will see that the only dod found for a Kenneth Duroe was the one in 1950,

However I am not confused, I am just posting details based on factual information that can be found about a Kenneth Duroe born and died in the registration district of Chesterfield for the time in history's that is relevant

If you have proof that he died in 1955 then buy that death certificate for further information
alternatively you can buy the one in 1950 posted above
