Re: Who is likely to be correct?

I've often found that the dates of death in admin are incorrect - usually the error is to give burial rather than death date - sometimes it is obvious that there is uncertainty (eg words such as about ..) sometimes I suspect errors in transcribing notes made during the court into the actual filed document. Thirteenth and thirtieth are I suspect a common error (common in IGI errors) but seem to me to be more likely a transcriber's error.
