    Looking for a death of my 5xg grandfather, I found two entries on Ancestry with consecutive page numbers

    John Houghton
    1838
    Jan-Feb-Mar
    Mutford
    Norfolk, Suffolk
    13
    339

    John Houghton
    1838
    Jan-Feb-Mar
    Mutford
    Norfolk, Suffolk
    13
    340

    I have checked the images and definently two seperate entries. I havn't come across this before. Does this mean he had two death certificates, or does this mean two John Houghtons died together (perhaps a son?) at same time. Will I need to order them both?

      Thanks Val.

      I wonder if it might be better for me to contact the local record office in Suffolk, they'd presumably be more likely to check the original than the GRO?

      Just been looking at my tree, and he did have a son John, who I have no death details for, so possible he and son were killed together in an accident or something. I can't think why one person would have two references? That said I have a burial for the father..not the son, if that was the case you'd presumably expect them to be together in the burial register too. Hmm..puzzled!

              Ah could be a baby grandson then? Mine was in Somerleyton aged 78. Maybe some illness took them both off same day?

              Will let you know what they say.

              Night Val.
