I hope this is not too muddled :o ...
How likely is it that grandparents lied on their granddaughters death cert by putting their own names as the parents?
This is what I have:
Ivy Lillian birth cert Dec 1901 - mother Lily
Ivy Lillian death cert 1918 - occupation, laundress, daughter of William dec'd, informatant Emily, mother
1911 census: I have an Ivy Lillian with her grandmother Emily living in Bath. (Emily's dec'd husband was William)
Why I think they lied is because I also have another set of birth & death certs for another grandchild of Emily & William:
William Henry birth cert June 1904 - mother Lillian
William Henry death cert Dec 1907 - aged 3 yrs 6 months, mother Alicia Jane
I believe that Alicia was the mother of both Ivy & William Henry, do you think I have this right?
Thanks for reading, all opinions welcome.
