obit-1985

[a.carkener]

I have my spouse's fathers death certificate, but we are interested on more info related to his death.

He died in a motorcycle accident (or so we were told) on November 9, 1985. The death cert lists location as Morriston Hospital, Swansea, and his address at the time of death was 11 Heol-y-Nant, Heol-y-Cyw, Nr. Bridgend.

There also was apparently an inquest done by the coroner on November 13, 1985.

Im looking for an obit, or any newspapers articles related to his death. Location of his burial would also be a bonus.

Thanks for the assistance!

I'll check the local papers for you for a report on the accident and the inquest, but don't have access to the Bridgend papers for the death notice - unless it's in the Western Mail - I'll check anyway (hopefully tomorrow)

Thanks so much! really appreciate the help!

I'll need his name? 

[a.carkener]

Haha Im BRILLIANT! its Vaughn Hopkins (also sometimes spelled Vaughan- none of his documents are consistant)

Only partial success I'm afraid; I found a report of the accident but there was nothing on the inquest and no death notice in either the "South Wales Evening Post" or the "Western Mail"

If you PM me with your e-mail address I'll send it straight to you.

Clipping e-mailed today.

Maybe someone could look up the Cardiff/Bridgend papers for an inquest report/death notice?
