I have a Death Certificate for an ancestor who died in the Goldfields of Creswick in 1905.
He had left Cornwall in 1864 and as far as is known never returned. His eldest son John
jnr went to Australia too, in 1884. It is not known whether they ever met up, I like to think they did, but the younger son died in Sydney, unmarried, in 1911.
Now, on John's Death Certificate in 1905 it states that John jnr is about 41yrs, which was correct, but his younger son James (back in Cornwall) was dead!. James was very much alive and did not die until 1928. Would there be any way for that information to be changed on the Death Certificate? Not of major importance, I know, after such a long time, but it would be nice to have the correct information.
