That is fantastic - thankyou

Made me think that he died not at home and maybe death registered in two areas.

This does worry me slightly.

Bisset-Smith's Vital Registration says, "The practical rule is that all deaths are registered in the parish or district in which they occurred, irrespective of their residence".

Unlike births, where the law provided that a child born in a district other than that where the parents normally lived should be registered in the both the district of birth and the district of the parents' residence, there was no provision for the same to be done when someone died in a district other than that of their residence. (I know, it seems very illogical that out-of-district births were to be registered twice, but not out-of-district deaths!)

Therefore, assuming both Registrars were following the procedures laid down, there should never be two registrations of the same death.

However these do look almost identical - both registered in the very first few days of 1884. Has anyone looked at the Kelvin one?
