John Bond and Jane Grey in York Township Cause of death

[punch]

John Bond, son of Robert Bond and Mary Palmer, was born about 1814 in Suffolk, England. John's parents emigrated to Canada in 1826 and purchased 100 acres on the western half of Lot 8, Concession 3 east of Yonge Street in York. In about 1842 John married Jane Gray born about 1818 in London, England to unknown parents. It would appear that both John and Jane died on the same day on August 14, 1846 and are buried in the York Mills Baptist Cemetery. There death on the same day leads me to an accident of some sort. Any information you could possibly share with me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Apparently there was a Globe Newspaper in 1846 - Began as a weekly newspaper in 1844 and became a semi-weekly in September 1846.
Difficult to know if there would be anything in newspapers, have you had a look thru this link ?

Hi,

I checked the Globe paper through the Toronto Public Library.....only a few months from 1846 are covered.   There are no issues from August in their collection.

Thanks for checking the papers RK. 

That's a shame, it might have been the only way to verify both deaths.

True....I don't see anything in the Ourontario newspapers site either.   I was wondering if a more local paper might have something.   No luck.

Can see an ancestry tree with the death date on but no source. 
Perhaps punch could contact the owner of the tree to see where the information came from ?

Thank you so much for your attempts to find answers for me. It is very much appreciated. I have been in contact with cabanbequia and the death dates are a mystery to her too. All we have is a photo of a headstone which lists the death dates. Happy New Year.
