Might the accident be in the newspapers? If yes, then any article could possibly give a clue. (if you want anyone to look, the nature/date of the accident could be helpful)

Is the date of death from the death cert? Just that some tress on Ancestry have a different date.

Deceased Online has a William Taylor burial 14 Sep 1910 Nottinghamshire. But I don't know whether there would be any clues if you paid to view it. There are 4 others buried in the same grave so probably not going to be much help.

I looked 9 - 19 on FMP. But I suppose it might have been a colliery accident?

No, Donald was a surveyor of some sort and fell from a roof.

I think friend was a teenager at the time, so it would probably be 1950s.

Pretty sure they would have been in Hertfordshire by then.

No, I meant the 1910 death. William would only have been about 30.

How dreadful for your friend to have his father die in such a way. We had a roofing client who slipped and it haunts me some 40 years on.

Sorry, I misread post #1 and thought the 1910 death was an accident.

And I wondered whether it was, simply because William was so very young. But of course it could have been tb, cancer, a burst appendix etc.

Thought there was a bit of confusion - thought from your questions there might have been !
Yes, accident awful. Think that's a big part of why
he wants to learn more about grandfather's ancestry.

1910 death was due to pernicious anemia.
