Just edit your post MaryMc and remove the colon and the emoticons will disappear.

The certificates will give you the exact date of each death and also the causes of death.

It would be great if certificates were online but unfortunately not. £9-25p each from the GRO in Southport.

I wonder if they died at the same time as this looks like Charlotte's death in the same quarter:-

You'll need to get his death cert to find the cause of his death.

Can anyone help: I am looking for the cause of my Great Great Grandfather's death, he died in South Shields in 1886, I believe he lived in Westoe and was around 40 years old. He was married to Charlotte, who also died young as my great gran came to Scotland to live with Charlotte's sister in Glasgow.
Many thanks
Robert
