I have found 2 possible Deaths for him and need help Please in finding the correct one

Richard Arthur Bracewell was born 1882 in Foulridge, Lancashire, His Parents were Robert and Sarah Bracewell, and in 1891 he was living with them at 219 Gisburn Road, Barrowford, Lancashire.

In the 1901 Census he was no longer with his Family. However I know he did not die before 1911 as his mother stated she had, had 7 Live Births and he is one of them.

The first Possible Death I found was on 'Find my Past' under WWI Roll of Honour Deaths.

The Second one was also on 'Find my Past' Deaths Richard Arthur Bracewell 1957 Yorkshire.

As I do not have access to the full records of either of These, would very much appreciate if some kind Person could check out, which one is my Richard.

Thanks Kiwibird
