Cyndy

Information on a death certificate is largely what the informant knows, which may not be accurate.


The only information that is reliable on a death certificate for an adult is:-

date of death
place of death
name of doctor, or coroner
name of informant


ALL other information is only "hearsay", what the deceased told people, or wanted people to know.


Children's death certificates are of course usually more reliable.

Cyndy, the info that Choccy posted seemed to suggest that he was the son of Rhoda Fox who later married William Maisey.

George Henry did go on to name his own daughter Rhoda.

Now, I know on the marriage and the 1881 it gives his birth year as 1850 but the baptism posted is for 1846, but ages change all the time on certificates and census records, mainly down to poor literacy.

As regards his father being named on the marriage certificate - well, some father's are complete fabrications to "save face".

Do you have George Henry on any later census to corroborate place and birth year?

The marriage certificate of Rhoda Fox and William Maisey would confirm whether or not she was a spinster or a widow.
