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

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
