Question about the registration index books

[kennett]

The GRO Indexes are the name and surname as entered in column 2 of the death certificate, there should be nothing else entered in this column,..

I have at least one other relative,  who had a code there which indicated he was a military pensioner,  which was corroborated from several other sources.

I meant initials such as decorations or qualifications. If a correction had been made that could be in column 2, with a number, or a code as in your case.

Thinking about it, as the name is indexed as CLUNEY Henry James G.F.S, it should have been written on the certificate as  Henry James G.F.S CLUNEY, and not as  Henry James CLUNEY  G.F.S.  The certificate will confirm which way it is written.

Good point, Stan,  that would certainly be a good reason for actually shelling out for the certificate.
