Another co incidence

I have discovered yet another co-incidence. My paternal great great grandfather Thomas Stokes (b.1835 circa) died in 1913 in an accident. It seems strange that my maternal great great grandfather Samuel Broome also lost his life as the result of an accident (see previous entry).
His death certificate says he died in The Union Workhouse Hospital, Warrington in 1913 from the shock of burns he received when at the age of 75 years he fell into a lime pit, on the common in Earlestown. He was a watchman, so I can only presume from this it was a work related incident.

I can only imagine the terrible pain he would have been in, and he survived the accident by 10 days before his death.

Ironically, his wife Elizabeth, died in 1901 also from the results of an accident where she fell in Crown Street, Earlestown and had fractured her ribs.

I need to go to my local library to see if I can find a coroners report or an obituary report in the local newspaper for either of these deaths. Should I find any, I will no doubt share it here in this journal.
