There was a Grace Allen death registered at Truro Jan-Mar 1861 vol 5c pg 115.  What are the chances that the local registrar mistakenly used the spouses name when forwarding to the GRO?

The trouble is there are lots of different parishes within the Truro registration district, and there a fair few Grace Allens that appear in the 1861 census.

I suppose mistakes could be made, but I doubt it. We would have to try and find a burial record in the area for a Grace Allen 1861.
