Possible Transcription error - John Mirfin - Burial

The entry:
Mirfin, John (File-cutter, age 50).
Died at 79 John St; Buried on October 10, 1891 in Consecrated ground;
Grave Number 14064, Section Y of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: . Remarks: .
Plot Owner: ~ ~ of ~. Page No 847

The above gives the burial year as 1891.
I can only find a death of John Mirfin in Ecclesall Bierlow in 1894 in the GRO index, but nothing for 1891. Also the burial records on Find My Past(FMP) quote a date of 10th October 1894.
The 1891 census return of John Mirfin (filesmith) has him living at 39 Henry Street. It is possible that he moved to John Street in the interval from April to October but it might be worth checking.

Hi John
You are correct - the entry is for 1894 & I have amended it
Thanks for getting in touch

What about the address?

Re: Possible Transcription error - John Mirfin - Burial

Everything else is correct, it was probably a simple number keying error 1 instead of 4
