Discrepancy in death registration

[ElizabethHerts]

I assume they are all for the same man! I don't think anyone knew his age properly! He was 75 in the 1891 Census.

On FREEBMD the page has the second entry type-written and beside it a mark. At the bottom of the page written by hand is the first entry.

I think it means that the original registration was corrected or re-registered with the correct information.

[Olde Crone]

I asume it is a correction of fact, i.e. the age?
