Manchester City Council

Frequently asked questions

What coroner's records do you hold?

Unfortunately, coroners' records frequently have been destroyed. This is certainly the case with the records of the coroner for the City of Manchester, where the only 19th century records survive are for 1851-1852. The Greater Manchester County Record Office also holds some 20th century coroners' records for Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Oldham and Rochdale. Please see our coroner's records guide for more information.
