Hello I was wondering if anyone could find any new article or obit for the following two people Bernard and Donald Field they passed away on the same day July 11, 1988. I am not sure where in England that they passed away but any help would be amazing Thank you for your time
Have a great day.

Hello Yes Keyboard86 that is when they both died I am curious as they both died on the same day was there some type of accident that caused these brothers to lose their life on the same day

Are you sure that they did actually die on the same day? The reason I query this is that the page numbers are quite far apart according to previous post (if those are the correct entries)-

as aghadowey has mentioned there would not normally be such a gap between page numbers if the deaths were the same day.
however, a delay could occur if there was a post-mortem for instance, no doubt in a place the size of Leeds there could be many deaths registered in between.
just a thought.

Or could they have both been in an accident and one died a little while later?

How do you know this - do you have the certificates as that will give the causes of death?

Hi Sarah, not certain if you have been online since the latest posts, but are we to assume Bernard died on his birthday in 1988, have you either of the death certicates?

hello no sorry I don't have their death certificates I am just following information that a family member had told me that is why I wanted to see if there was an obit or an article about them dying to see if the facts were true

There may be cemetery or crematorium records which would confirm the dates.

However, the easiest way to solve the puzzle would be to purchase the certificates.

heywood is right, the death certificates should solve things for you.
sometimes dual family deaths get a write up in a local paper. I have tried a search of obits without luck perhaps someone else may be successful.
let us know how you get on

Don't know if you have a tree on ancestry but there are a few all who state the same day of death for both brothers 11/07/1988. One states that Donald died in St James Hospital.
