Translation request please: this my be a death record for the child Hermann Friedrich Platte, 1877.
However , his birth is recorded 28 October 1877, Herford, Westphalia, Germany, with the name "Heinrich Friedrich Platte" a twin to Heinrich August Platte. Heinrich Friedrich was christened 4 November 1877 in Vlotho, Herford, Westphalia, Germany, and his death is recorded 26 December 1877. Please translate this record and help me understand why his name changed from Heinrich to Hermann?

The image is rather unsharp, but I can confirm that it is the death record for Hermann Friedrich Platte, 8 weeks old, born 28 October 1877 in Vlotho, who died from convulsions on 26 December 1877. The parents were Ernst Heinrich Platte and his wife Louise Charlotte née Schneider(?).
There is no reason given why the first name is different from the birth record; it may just be a mistake by the registrar.

I agree that it is the same child. There is even the correct date of death under his name in the birth record as far as I can see (the image is rather unclear again).
So my conclusion is that the difference in first names is a clerical error.
