My Uncle was crushed by a tub while working on the haulage side he died three days later in hospital .

Where would I get the inquest details from , could anyone help me

I have moved this thread from the Introduce Yourself forum as that is only for basic introductions.

There is a local history society for LLai.
Have you seen this site by the BBC?
it has an awful lot of history about Llay Main Colliery there may be a mention of him.

Otherwise it would be a local newspaper report that would give you the most information.

I will do as you say and go to Wrexham and try and find a bit more info from the papers

The best bet is always the local newspaper. Actual coroners' records rarely survive in rural areas, since they were the propertyb of the official, who tended to destroy all but the expenses sheet.
There should also be a report on an industrial accident at TNA Kew, in class BOT (Board of Trade). Try the catalogue to a leaflet on the subject.

A minor amendment to the last post, the Board of Trade records are in BT.

This research guide shows what records TNA have for Mining.

This guide deals specifically with coal mining
