Information on Death Certificat1851

[cornishgal]

I would like to know what information would be found on a death certificate or perhaps church record of a death.
The date of death is
December 17, 1851 with the death taking place in Perranzabuloe
for John Roberts who was born March 21, 1800 near Parranzabuloe
HOWEVER: there is a debate of his birth year which is also
as January 6, 1797 and was born in St. Agnes.
Would it name who his father was?
      The biggest problem right now other than knowing about John Roberts, is this.
Is he the father of James Henry Roberts who was born 1826-1829
who married Mary Jane Paull.
In 1848 there were two James Henry Roberts who each married a Mary.
The marriage liscense ( copy states) for the one who married Mary PAULL the father was a James.
What a mess!!! Any ideas are welcomed.

Hi Cornishgal,

I have a death cert from 1852 and the information given is

When and where died?
Name and Surname?
Sex?
Age?
Occupation?
Cause of Death?
Signature description and residence of informant?
When registered?

the death cert would not give the father's name unless the death was of a child

the link gives what info you would expect to find. Any church record would be the burial info - age, where he lived & little else.
