I don't think much of death certs. My grandfather's death, registered by my uncle, has his date of birth out by a year and a misspelt birthplace.

My brother's death, which I registered myself, annoyed me too - I was able to give his birthplace, Sanderstead, but his death (same house) was recorded as South Croydon because they've faffed about with the boundaries. Sanderstead and South Croydon have their own railway stations and are never confused by people who live there. But anyone who found his cert in years to come wouldn't know he was born and died in the same house as the registrar didn't even record the house number or road! It rankles, people!
