I am confused as to why a couple who died same year and place, would have the same reference numbers. Anyone know why it could be ? |

Are you sure they are different people? Might the same person be known by several names? |

If you mean the same volume and page then there is no mystery as several people may share the same page. |

No, sorry, I possibly didn't make myself clear. These were a married couple who it appears died the same year but when I went to order the death certificates I then realised they both had the same ordering vol number & page & quarter ! Does anyone else think this is odd ? Could it be that they died together ? |

They could have died at the same time Penny, possibly an accident. If you post the details someone else can take a look |

Penny, are you saying they died the same year but not the same date? |

Recently I've come across one in my own tree - they died within 4 days of each other. Another couple (American) states they died in an automobile accident. |

Even if they died a few days apart they could still have the same page numbers as their deaths could have been registered at the same time. |
