Odd reference on death record

[griff20]

On my great great grandfather's death record there is a reference in the margin saying:

"See Reg. Of Cor. Entries, Vol. 15P.112, Aug 30 1905"

And then a funny handwritten mark. Does anybody know what it means?

Would that be the Register of the Coroner Entries?

[griff20]

It may be. What's that?

This sounds like something from Scotland, where they keep a Register of Corrected Entries. These are what they sound like, though sometimes it's more an expansion of the information than a correction. Count yourself lucky to have one of these - they're often very informative. You can view them online at Scotland's People, and the SP website tells you more at (www) scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=551&1314 (I can't tell you what the mark is - possibly someone's initials?)

That's interesting Arthur, & sounds reasonable. here I was just thinking it was entries extra to those listed on the certificate.
This is such a place of learning. :)

Thanks Arthur,

I found it, it says he died when he hit his head falling into the sunk area of the stairs aged 34.
