John PARKES (b.1792) on BCC

[nugentsmith]

It was suggested that John Parkes might have died in 1864,and that the burial was:
30 Mar 1864 John PARKES Waterfall Lane Age 67 years

I now have a PDF from GRO for that death:
1864/Dudley/Rowley Regis/No 470 - reg 20th April 1864
Death on 26th March 1864 at Rowley Regis of John PARKES, Male, 67 years, Nailer.
Cause: Run over by a Horse and Cart.
Information received from Edwin Hooper Coroner for Staffordshire; Inquest held 30th March 1864.

So not much help in identifying John!
Is anyone aware how Inquest records can be accessed, please?

Also, I have now seen that on a marriage certificate in 1866 (for Elizabeth Batty) John is given as Father but no mention of being deceased. Was that normal at that time?

Does that help if you dont need any more info on this I will move to archived

Thanks, and I think that it can be archived.
A search on newspaper archives did not yield any results, so I will have to go to archives when open. There was a suggestion that Lucy Parkes might be John's mother, but I will post separately on that.
