My grandmother left her husband & family in the early 1930s. I can find no trace of her death either under her married or maiden name. Is it possible if she lived with someone & posed as their wife that her death would be registered under that name? I dont know what checks are done - I registered both my parents deaths & I dont remember being asked to show any proof that they were who I said they were. If this is the case I may as well stop trying to find her but wondered if anyone out there has had the same problem.

with regard to registering deaths and being asked for proof of who they are etc, i wasnt asked for any prof of who i was or my father whose death i was registering. so yes it would be possble that she lived with another man

Have you checked for another marriage for her? Gwyn

When was she born? Remember that all recent deaths show the full date of birth, so you can search on that alone. Jim

Hi Barbara one branch of our family seemed to register BMD with whiichever family name came to mind,,,,,,,,sometimes it was their married name sometimes maiden name and even mothers maiden name they have given us a merry chase.........one couple never married till 1904 but their last child was born 1890's and the mother had apparently been married previously and I only found that by finding her sister and we think this is the do anything age!!!!!!!!!! sandie

Thanks for the replies. Have tried for another marriage but no luck. Have also started to go through all the Alice's with the same birth date - could be a long job!
