I have been a researcher for ages now, and this is the first time I have come across this scenario, can anyone tell me if they have seen this before. |

Whereabouts on the death certificate did it mention the Post Mortem? Did it give a date for the registration of the death? |

Did it actually say that there was a post mortem or could it just have been an inquest? I'm not certain but I think you CAN have an inquest after a burial, but not of course a post mortem. |

The post mortem would be soon after death, then presumably there would be an inquest and only then would the death be registered, ...when cause of death could be recorded. |

In that case I wonder if they had the post mortem straight after the death and then had to wait until later for the inquest. Can't think of anything else really. |

Thanks Gwyn,I thought originally that it may have been more sinister, as I know the family where wealthy. Thought one of the rellies might have bumped her off!! |

Yes have visited the Newspaper library in Nth London and done a thorough search, to no avail. I expext it will remain a mystery. At least I found her resting place, which unfortuantely now is underneath a road. |

I've just looked up the copy of a death certificate for my friend's family, around that time. |

I wonder if they had slightly different definitions at that point? |
