Can anyone tell me where I might be able to locate a report of a suicide in Ventnor on the IOW, 25 Sept 1841 please?
I just had a death cert back for a relative, Theophilus Harper whose death cert says 'destroyed himself by drinking prussic acid being at the time deranged'
The informant is given as Henry Sewell, Coroner, so there will have been a post mortum and maybe an inquest and since its a bit gruesome I guess the local paper would have reported it.
Theophilus by the way was not generally living on IOW but seems to have gone there to kill himself!:(
Thanks,
Margaret
