    1. Names on Death Certificates
    2. Neil Williams
    3. Hi all, Can someone please shed some light on a question I have about a death certificate I have. It is the death certificate of my ggrandfather's defacto. It is one of the post 1890 certificates and in point 10 on the certificate under "Names and religion of minister, and/or names of two witnesses of burial or cremation" there are two names. Now it could be a strange and somehow warped coincidence but one of the names listed on this woman's (remember she was the defacto not the wife) death certificate is the same name as his wife's first husband whom we don't know what happened to. Where do these people come from usually? Are they staff of the funeral directors? Are they council employees who work at the cemetery? Or are they persons who are known to the deceased? Is it a strange twist of fate or just a coincidence? What are your thoughts? Neil Williams ******************************************** Researching the names, RYLAND, SATCHER, MANN, REYNOLDS WILLIAMS, ENGEL from the SE QLD area. ******************************************
