I have a death cert for a gt gt gt uncle who's death was registered by his "nephew". 11 years later this "nephew", who in the interim has married and had a couple of children, has a child with my gt gt aunt.
So from this I know that the "nephew" is known to the family and presumably reasonably well to have registered the death.
My question is would he have stated he was a "nephew" when he was just a family friend to give him a qualification to register the death?
I can't find the cert now (grrr) but I have a feeling he was present at the death, is this not sufficient to register the death in itself? And in any event anyone can register a death if they are arranging a funeral/cremation can't they?
I am keen to figure out if he is a relation as well as the father of my gt gt aunt's child as he was accepted in to the family by my gt gt grandmother who was a complete tartar and thought the nephew connection would explain the acceptance.
Hope this all makes sense!
