At a guess, the township clerk had a problem with the clergyman's handwriting.

Oscar's death registration shows his place of Birth as Sheffield, Ontario, which is in Beverly Township. Oscar showed Beverly Township as his place of birth on his marriage registration and this is probably technically correct. He may have been born rather closer to the Troy area, but Sheffield would not have been far away. |
