Thanks Gins

I think you are right she must have just been a friend.

All the best

PS I have just noticed they were living in the same place at time of death. Silly me I should have noticed that.

Sometimes a neighbour would act as a nurse when someone was dying . They would lay out the body after death ready for it to be taken away

Often the same person would act as a midwife for home births

If in this case Mary was acting as a nurse and assisted at the death she may then have taken on the registration of the death too
