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

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

	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.
