19th century newspapers

[Margaret in Burton]

I've been looking at the registers for Blo Norton, Norfolk on the Family Search Record Search site.
I have found a husband and wife buried on the same day. I wondered if they died a natural death (both aged 80) or something more interesting. :)

Can anyone find anything in the newspapers?

It's William and Elizabeth Saunders who were buried on 10 Feb 1820 in Blo Norton, Norfolk.

So they would both have been 1740-1820.

I can't see anything in the 19th Century British Newspapers database.

Thanks for looking Kate

I would have thought if it was anything strange there would have been a good chance the vicar would have made a note in the burial register. (I couldn't find anything either!)

No nothing in the burial register Merry.

Pity there were no death certs then.

Just my over active imagination. :d

[kiterunner]

Maybe there was a bug going round which they both caught?

Probably

I have an acquaintance who lost her husband, her father and her father in law in the space of 24 hours, unrelated causes of death, although shock may have contributed to at least one of the subsequent deaths.

Ooooh I've just found something interesting in the Norfolk PR's for Blo Norton.
Not my family but it reads:

6 May 1777
Susan wife of William Hubbard

murdered by her own daughter. :eek::eek:
