I have been searching for Peter Melville Mcmillan's death for many years.
He was born in Truro South Australia in 1870. His father was Peter McMillan and mother Johanna Maher.
On Ancestry I have come across a death certificate which shows at time of death he was known as John Gordon. Most details on death certificate were incorrect. Transcribers note on his death certificate all alterations were certified by M G Edwards (his sister) M G Edwards is my Great Grandmother.
Correction Name Peter Melvelle McMillan known as John Gordon. He died at Armidale NSW on 29 December 1928. Death record is still under John Gordon. My query is would a death certificate show more than a transcribers? Also what steps would have to be taken to alter death certificate. Would there be a file at NSW BDM's on this case as to what lead to the death certificate being altered? The alterations were made 30 October 1930. Any help in solving this mystery would be appreciated.
