You could suggest your cousin bought the death certificates and looked up the local newspaper of the time. ... ! !

Can anyone tell me how I can find out about a death of Joseph Morris in 1931. Joseph was married to Ada Ramsbotton in 1901 in St Leonard Middleton Oldham Lancs. I believe he was killed in an accident near where he lived Middleton Oldham . Ada died the same year I dont know whether they both died together.I Have been told that it was an accident involving beer barrells running him or both of them over. They had several children one being my uncle John Morris who was married to Irene Morris.
