Just a quick question. I have just acquired the death certificate of the last of my 4 "lost babies" (my great uncles/aunts), the other three (Jane Ann, Elizabeth and another Harry) all died from broncho-pneumonia and exhaustion. This one, Harry, however died from whooping cough. Now on the death certificate, the informant was the coroner from inquest 10 Feb 1896.
Would anybody happen to know if that was a normal thing in those days, to have an inquest because of whooping cough I know it was a more serious disease to have in those days but to have an inquest because of it ?
Any input would be extremely welcome
