Yes, unfortunately some deaths were not registered. One instance - my great-grandfather's burial record it is hoped has been found, there is a splodge over the age, but there is definitely no registration for his death. |

It would be rare for a death not to be registered at this time. The law was actually tightened up in 1875 after which most deaths had to be certified by a doctor and registered with 5 (I think) days. |

Using the valuable insights of members in response to previous posts,plus my own research,I have reached the conclusion that the supposed death of my husbands g-grandmother was either "fiction" [we are in the process of looking for weddings] or did not make the official records. |
