Age at Death   77

There are three Bertie Browns registered in Q1 1894 and two Bertie Browns with a middle name. One is in Barnsley which seems the most likely, others are Gloucestershire, Wales, Croydon and Norwich.

Florrie Green is a bit more difficult there are two in Q3 1893, none in Q4 1893, none in Q3 1891, two in Q4 1891. Locations Chorlton and Leicester 1891 and Warrington and Sculcoates in 1893. Sculcoates is Yorkshire but some way from Barnsley.

In 1901 I have a Florrie Green age 7 b Mexborough (Doncaser RD) with father Charles general carter, mother Eliza, siblings Fred and Edith living in Mexborough. Fits except occupation, maybe he changed later or she bigged up her dad, won't be the first i've seen.

Florrie age 7 fits with a Sept 1873 birthday, could be the informant on the death cert made a mistake with year of birth but knew the birthday. nearly did same thing when I registered my mother's death, luckily OH corrected me.
