George Jones.... help!

[hiraeth]

Is there any chance the year of George's death on the family grave could be incorrect? 

If so, Free BMD has a death of a George H Jones, age 45,  registered Nantwich Dec Q 1919 vol 8a page 372.     It might be worth contacting the local registrar to check the occupation of this deceased?

Good find, Heather. A 4 and 9 might look very similar with certain carving styles

It depends on the Cheshire Central registrar and their checking policy.   Some will do it if they have time or some will expect you to order the certificate.    Some are very helpful and will even help over the phone if you have the reference already and a credit card handy.    Have you asked for their help looking for the death in 1914 previously? 

From Cheshire BMD it appears that the local reference for this death is NA/37/082.

Hello.....

It is really good you managed to get a copy of the correct certificate.....I  came across your post whilst looking for canals and canal boat people - mine were Derbyshire canal folk.

It is puzzle re the grave....looked on the pilotsearch site and found a few burials on there that have helped me.

It does have your George Henry Jones on there with a burial date that would tie in to the death date of 4th of October....so I wonder what's going on?

George Henry Jones - burial date 8th Oct 1919 - place Acton (Near Nantwich), Cheshire.

Hi

I had a grave stone like that - the stone mason had misread  or written down the instructions wrongly. I think it's not all that uncommon
