I agree - my Father's death certificate had 17 mistkaes on it - provided by my brother, who had not checked anything. I had to make stat dec's, provide certificates and ARGUE to get the registrar to change it - then they just made notes over the original one. I had to ask if he was interested in keeping accurate records for the future, as they were not going to do anything at first. It was worth the argument to get it right.
