Thanks again for your help. Gwyn seems to have got it right with her latest post - I had consulted "Ancestral Trails" (my FH bible) but had obviously misinterpreted the information, which I realised when I read it a second time! |

I believe that the 's' is as a result of a later correction that was made as a result of an error at the time of the original registration. |

After 1969 the date of birth given in the death index is as stated by the informant registering the death. |

Maybe some additional information was included on the 2nd certificate. |

It is possible to look at the original GRO index sheet on both freebmd and on ancestry |

I would guess there was a correction to the first entry. If this were in the 2nd quarter, I presume the "S" refers to the September quarter. One often sees this on birth rerego's, although S '70 would be the more usual form. |

Maybe there was an inquest. After 1874 deaths were required to be registered within 5 days. |

Can anyone give me any ideas as to why an individual (identical full name and date of birth) would have had his 1970 death registered in two consecutive quarters in the same registration district. |
