Death Notice:https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQX-HSC7-X?i=212&...

The date of death on this profile has been given as 23 March 1893. Is this correct? There were several John Roberts's around at the time but the above Death Notice is of a John Roberts who died on 7 Feb 1884 as a Widower - Perhaps the wrong Death Notice? Also his wife's date of Death is given as 3 days after his i.e 28 March 1893. So far haven't found any evidence of these deaths in 1893. Perhaps copied from other trees?
