When did the daughter die? Who supplied the info for the headstone?

I have a similar situation where erroneous info was supplied for my gg
grandmothers death certificate. It was supplied by her son. He said her
father was John Hutson and mother was Matilda Yates.

However, Mary Ellen buried her brother and sister and on their tombstones,
she had their parents names written. James and Mary. The census info I
have found has further supported the names on the tombstones of Mary Ellen's
siblings and proven the info on her death certificate was wrong.

So find as many sources as you can to back up the info and pick the one with
the most "reliable" supplier and/or most sources backing it up.

Hope this helps.
