Hi Group. Can anyone here help me solve a 60 yr old mystery of a double death in either Crewkerne or Misterton? I am, in conjunction with a cousin, researching our family tree. She has come across a mystery on her mothers side and has asked me to take a look at it for fresh ideas. My cousin has already attempted to find information from the records office, who referred her to the Coroner who immediately referred her back to the records office, frustating, I should say! Because of the nature of the deaths we are well aware that an inquest would have taken place and a cause of death has been recorded as on the death certificate as: "Influenza Pneumonial contributary Aortic Cyanosis excellerated by Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from inhalation of coal gas". The location for the death is recorded as Crewkerne, Somerset. However, that is only the official version. A neice of the dead couple is adamant that the couple died in Misterton in a house fire in 1951and suggests that there maybe more to this story than the Official bodies are saying. The information I have to date to which I can share is as follows: Walter BURT (63yrs) and hs wife Violet (61yrs) were both found dead in ther home (Crewkerne or Misterton?) having passed away sometime between 31 Jan 1951 and 1 Feb 1951. Could anyone tell us where we need to be looking for any information regarding this matter, ie, which newspapers would cover these areas, Which churches should we be looking at to find possible records of burial and lastly where would we have to look to find a copy of the Coroners reports, other that the two places that seem to like sending one on a wild goose chase! In reality, ANY help woud be gratefully received. Thank you. Peter
