Strange Death Record
« on: Wednesday 11 April 12 09:36 BST (UK) »
We have just got the death certificate for Thomas Mee who died 1886.. Trouble is the info that is on it..

I know it is the correct one as it lists Ellen Mee, widow, to be present at death. The place of death is at home, 8, Soudan Terrace, Wilford.
NOW COMES THE MYSTERY.
On this official certificate it states that he died at 8, Soudan Terrace on 15th June 1886. The cause of death is 'Pneumonia, one week, certified by Mr Hunter M.B.' but the death was NOT registered until the 17th December 1886

Can any of you think of any reason this death would not be registered until DEC when he died in June???

Hi,

I have no knowledge of such things, but may it have been to do with an inquest for some reason?

Best wishes,

The only reason I can think of his death was originally registered in the wrong place and the error was later corrected
