Thanks for the latest info. We live too far away to visit Bradford to view the newspaper archives. The notes confirm the surname of Ellis and the accident could have happened in June 1967 but not certain.

Hello,
I wonder re the source of your notes - as you don't have a first name, nor a more specific death- are they accurate in the little information you do have?
You say you are sure he lived in Bingley but the pub is a few miles out of Bingley and away from the cemetery. If he was walking home he may have lived elsewhere.
The quoted article refers to 'Old Ellis' - perhaps that is a first name, as Arthur's says.
You could contact Bingley Cemetery as suggested or the Bradford Telegraph and Argus to see if there are records or reports.

Regards
Heywood
