Mistranscribed Death certificate surname ??
« on: Tuesday 22 January 19 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi to everybody,
       Many thank's for looking to see if you can help. I have had trouble finding a death certificate for a GEORGE WENTZEL(L) 1841. My descendants have tried twice to have a GEORGE in the family, and were twice unsuccessful. The second GEORGE b 1846 I do have his death details of 1847.
 Mistranscription happens quite frequently with the WENTZELL name. I believe it's stepped in again. I have come across a possible result for the death of GEORGE WENTZELL b 1841. .....
 GEORGE WETZELL Death 1844 LAMBETH Vol 4 Page 170. Any information on confirmation of his parent's which could be a JAMES JOHN & MARIA ( ROBERTS ), would be much appreciated. Many Thanks again, JUST J

GRO says death 1844 is aged 2

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
