18. Alt. Death, 19 Feb 1895, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 54,762 300112:

In the NGB transcript of the church record the dates of burial are sometimes mistakenly given as the date of death. The newspaper reports confirm the date of death was actually 17 Feb 1895. Interestingly, the vital records, which are prepared from the church registers, compounds the error by repeating the same incorrect date of death.
