is it possible for a Death Certificate to have the wrong place of death on it. |

It is often the case that the registration office is a long way from an actual event (lots of variations in birthplace from certificates, censuses, baptisms etc.) And if a death takes place away from home it might be registered in either place. You might get the actual death place from the probate record |

A cert info is only as good as is told to the registrar. |

There is no hard and fast link between BMD records and the place of registration. The cert may have further details but as already said that information is not verified it is just what the informant ( who may not even be a relative) said. |

I believe a death has to be registered in the area in which it occurred. |

It depends on whether your sister thinks that granny died in a completely different area, or just at as different address in the place where the death is registered. |

My husband and I are 100% sure that we have the correct place of death. SIL says a different address but in the same Registration area. A daughter (now deceased) was the informant. |

The death certs I have all say the person registering the death was present at the time of death, does yours? If it does then it's the end of the argument :-D |

As stated, death is only confirmed when a medical opinion has been given. |

Sometimes a Probate calendar entry will give the true place of death. |

Slightly different but my MiL who was very ill died at home in bed at 10pm but the doctor didn't arrive at the house until after midnight so the next day's date is shown on the cert.as the date of death. |
