The Common Room / Not marked as Deseased on marriage certificate, when he should be.
« on: Sunday 01 July 18 14:59 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I would appreciate any opinions on this.
I have a death certificate for an ancestor dated 22nd Aug 1881. The problem is I also have him as the father of the groom on a wedding certificate dated Dec 12th 1881. He is not listed as deceased on the marriage certificate.
Obviously I am concerned I have the wrong man somewhere or other. But the name Charles Alfred Young is the same on both. He is listed as a Publican on one and Licensed Victualler on the other. I am pretty confident they are both ‘right’.
I suppose my question is, how likely is it that human error lead to him not being listed as deceased on his son’s marriage certificate a few months after his death?
I would really appreciate any advice on this.
Thank you,
Claire
