Title: Burt family from Bexley Kent
Post by: AmandaJ on Thursday 15 February 18 22:48 GMT (UK)

In my family tree I have come across a branch where there were four children all born in Bexley, Kent. The eldest child died in 1975 in her late 70's. But the three younger siblings all died in Gravesend in March 1982 aged between 78-83. I thought it was odd they all died in the same month of the same year. They may have died in an accident or all become ill at the same time. I have looked into it a bit but not found any explanation online. I wondered what others peoples thoughts were on this.

Hi Amanda

They were registered in the March QUARTER, so could have died at the end of December, January, February or March. You could do with getting one of the Death Certs to see if that helps?

Cheers

Or try looking at the Government web site for wills. If they left will that will give you their dates of death.

Just Googled names and there is a mention of Cyril & Lena in the London Gazette.

They were living at the same address in Bexley. One died in January and the other in March.
