This isn’t related to using FH, so would be a better fit for the Research forum on the FHUG website.

Hello everyone, I have an anomaly and would welcome any opinions or advice. My paternal grandfather died in August 1942. His death certificate states that he died on 27th August 1942 - the same date that his death was registered. However, the headstone on his grave clearly states that he died on August 24th 1942. I am inclined to believe the headstone and that the register entry is an error. Is this likely or possible? It was 1942, a mid point in World War 2. (Registrars are not completely infallible; in a recent family death certificate, 'Cerebro' is misspelled 'Cerebo'!) What do others think? Cheers Chris P |
