hello Bernadine, I can check the Scotsman archive to see if they reported the accident if you want.  What was his full name and do you know the date of his fall? 

Also for future reference if you need to correct something you don't need to post again, just click the 'modify' button at the top right hand side of your post.

Hi Bernie, unfortunately the Scotsman online archive only goes up to 1950.  You would need to look at the copies in the national library of scotland or the mitchell.  I checked for any bmd announcements though but didn't come up with anything, sorry.
 
On SP the only Llewellyn Turner born in Scotland between 1905 - 1915 was born in 1908 in Ballingry, Fife.

There was however a Llewelly [sic] Turner born in Jedburgh in 1944.

The nearest record I can find for his son is a Davies Turner born in Milton, Lanarkshire in 1930.  There are no matches for Davies Llewellyn or variants. 

Llewellyn's death record is also indexed on SP, but you would need to order it since it counts as a modern record.
