How accurate is the information for a death in 1991? I have a name spelt a tiny bit different, no S on the end

The BMDs for 1991 is the same as the transcribed index found at any library or the GRO It is only as accurate as the person copying it from the local register office records for inclusion in the main index.

Don't forget that the info on a death cert is only as good as the informants knowledge, that could include the spelling of the name Roy
