Don't always trust results from Ancestry. They have a death date of 11th June 2017 but the person actually died on 6th November 2017. They won't change it to the correct date.

Is it an actual record on Ancestry or on someone's tree?

It is an UK vs US date representation problem. Someone has interpreted 6/11 as 11th June or vice versa.

This US/UK date representation causes quite a problem for us Canadians. We use the UK system but because we're so close to US it gets confusing. Consequently I always type out the month.

It is an actual record on AC.
Thanks for all replies.
