Death Certificate puzzle * solved*
« on: Saturday 02 June 12 20:58 BST (UK) »
Please see attached death certificate for my great,great uncle, George Duncan.
I have 3 queries.

1.  What does it say in the far left margin before  " Page 46 15 Feb 1904"?

2.  Does anyone know what it refers to ?

3.  Can anyone make out the name of the brother who informed of the death,in Column 7?


Thanks for looking .

1. See Reg Corr Entries Vol II (see register of correction entries volume II)

2. This indicates that a correction has been made to the entry and it will be explained in the register of corrections
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

That would tie in with a tree that gives his brothers as Alexander, James, Peter and Robert (and a half brother also called Alexander)

Thanks, I did wonder if it was Alexr, as that it how they have filled in at least one of the census forms.

Where did you find a tree with a half brother Alexander ?

I have the family tree and have George with older brothers Alexander and John , older sister May, and younger brothers James, Peter and Robert, with younger sisters Isabella and Elizabeth .

You can discount the half brother Alexander, its a mistake on the tree on Ancestry

Thanks, I've spent the last wee while trying to find that tree (without success) and wondering about possibly having new relatives....

On the page where you downloaded the death certificate, you should find a button that links you to the entry in the Register of Corrected Entries, which you can then download.
