I picked up my copy of my nans death certificate from my mum today. I had supplied details regarding her birth etc. My aunt went to record the death. Well I have noticed that the date of birth is wrong (a day out) and also her maiden name is down as her first married name. Should I try and get it changed or is that it??

Is this a recent registration? When I registered my father's death we had to check each thing the registrar wrote down - she was so careful - we had to do it about three times. But what can you do if the person registering doesn't give the right info? I guess you could give them a ring and find out if it can be changed. Anne

Only a day - my grandfather's death cert has his age wrong by a year! His son registered the death and I think he was confused because grandfather lied about his age to join the army. I did enquire about changing it, but it's a performance to get it changed. You have to go to the original register office and supply details and then they have to get permission from the GRO etc. nell

This was last month. The name is the main thing. The office is a long way from me so it wouldn't be an easy thing to do.

hiya, i would ring the relevant R/O and query it, explain the situation, and see what happens, i would think that with it being so recnet something could be done, as the registrar would still have the register and not gone to the storage facility yet HTH Julie
