Sorry, his surname was Doolan,I don't know the date but I think it was in the 1920's.

Found a John Thomas Doolan who died in Accy in 1930 aged 14. Could this be him?

Re: Broad oak print works
 

Yes I think it is,do you know any more ?

Re: Broad oak print works
 

No, only what I found on LancsBMD website. Might have more info on his death cert if you send for it.

I took a look at the Newspaper Archives, Irene, but found nothing about your uncle, sadly. Neither British Newspaper Archives nor Find My Past (which has the Lancashire Evening Post and the Burnley Express from the 1920s and 30s) showed any news of the unfortunate man. Sorry, but I tried :)

It's worth a try, Irene, as you may have better luck than I did, my time being limited today :)
