A typed death certificate arrived today for one Elizabeth Pope who I found in the indices on Jun qtr 1853.
No.377 14th April 1853 *line crossed through year* followed by 1852. Registered by her daughter in law Ann Pope 15th April 1853.
Note on side of cert says "In No 377 column 1 for 1852 substitute 1853 corrected on the 29th July 1853 by me Robert Coates Registrar in the presence of
Ann Pope
Sarah Pope
Both in attendance"
So have I got this right?
Elizabeth died in April 1853 but it was erroneously recorded as 1852. This was corrected in the presence of her daughters in law, who were both at the death in July. And either on the original or in the copying the wrong year has been crossed out?
