NEW ZEALAND DISASTERS AND TRAGEDIES
AUCKLAND INQUESTS
1841-1864
FROM THE BOOK
"TOUCHING ON DEATHS - A MEDICAL HISTORY OF EARLY AUCKLAND BASED ON THE FIRST 384 INQUESTS"
by LAURIE GLUCKMAN 2000 DOPPELGANGER AUCKLAND ISBN095821042X
Please note the second and third names on the list have illegible surnames. There were also many inquests on 'unknown man, found drowned' etc which I have not included. This book is a fascinating insight into early Auckland. Some of the inquests go into detail while others are very short. PLEASE NOTE - I do not have a copy of this book. Thanks to Robert I Phillips for finding two of the 'unknowns' on this list.
