See reg. of ?? - Where can I find it?

[Lauren Campbell]

On the death cert. of my great-grandfather, who was found dead. Can you help me find out what this reads? I can decipher most of it, but I am unsure what Cor. Ents means? Coroner something? Where can I find the entry?

Correct Entry

You may occasionally come across records with a note in the left margin: 'RCE' or 'Reg. Cor. Ent.' RCE stands for Register of Corrected Entries, or, from 1965, Register of Corrections, etc. If, after an entry in a register had been completed, an error was discovered or some other amendment was required as a result of new information, the original entry could not be altered. Instead, each registrar kept a register of corrected entries in which such amendments were written, originally after they had been approved by a sheriff.

If this is a Scottish Record it will stand for Register of Corrected Entries - if you go back to the image on SP and look just above the toolbar it  should say view correction ( you have already paid for it!).

Hope this helps
