Biography

I have a copy of death certificate of William Ellis’ daughter name Elizabeth Ellis who married Charles Miller b. 1864. It states Elizabeth’s father as William Ellis and mother as Margaret McCullen. All other information I have run across states that Elizabeth’s mother is Margaret Robinson. Is the death certificate wrong?
