	Just found the following death info:- Henry Sinfield died JFM 1867, Woburn, aged 69, 3b 277 and Sarah Sinfield died JFM, Woburn, aged 63, 3b 277. I can suppose they may have been husband and wife, but why do they have the same ref. details?? Kathlyn

	If they died at the same time, then they would probably have been registered at the same time, so would be on the same page. Kath. x

	But I thought that every entry had a unique ref number. Kathlyn
