Could you elaborate on the process that the registrar would have used to record a Death? Did he take the information from the person registering the death, which was the practice in the US, or would he have look the information up in the Birth and Marriage registers. The reason I ask this is that in William Brocks Death Record, it mentions both marriages and under Christian Ross's name it says "Illegitimate". I thought that was odd, I wouldn't think that the youngest son would be privi to that type of information about his mum, and figured that the Reigistrar got it from some where else. He also has accurate information about Williams 1st Marriage. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
