Title: Re-Registered Death
Post by: Rainmaker on Thursday 08 July 10 13:10 BST (UK)

Hi,
I have just recieved a death certificate for my grtx3 grandfather, Thomas Yeates/Yates and with it a letter from GRO stating that there is a re-registered copy available if I know the details.
I cannot find details of another later copy, but just wondered what reasons could there be why the death should be re-registered?
He lived in the Guitings and died in the Cottage Hospital Winchcomb in 1894, he died of exhaustion after an operation of a strangulated hernia.
Many Thanks.

Perhaps there was an inquest - sorry I can't be of more help

I have checked the Gloucestershire BMD indexes and there is only ONE death entry: Winchcombe, Guiting 1894, Register 12, Entry 454, aged 62.
