InformantMartha Fletcher, present at the death, Thorney
When Registered3 May 1859

The death certificate gives her as the widow of Isaac Leahair, whereas she was actually the widow of Daniel Leahair. Given the other evidence that this is the correct woman, I take this to be an error by the informant. Daniel had been dead nearly 26 years, and may well have been unknown to the informant.
