My G-Grandmother (UK citizen) left England for Spain in 1912 to stay with my Grandfather (who was working in Ferrol, Galicia) and his family.
As far as I am aware she did not return with them when they came back in 1926, and as she would have been between 47 and 61 in that 14 year spell it is quite possible that she died out there.
Is there some way I can check on this, or find any more information?

Hello Stanza,
Click here for a map of Galicia.
Googling for Galician cemeteries and graveyards doesn't produce much information

Thanks, Christopher.
Looks like I'll need to dust off my schoolboy Spanish and get out to Ferrol to interrogate the locals!

Have a look on the overseas death indexes (you should be able to access them for free on www.familyrelatives.com ). There are several different indexes, (i.e. consular death indexes, also deaths at sea perhaps?)

Thanks for drawing my attention to that site.
Unfortunately I didn't find my G-Grandmother as I had hoped, either in the marriages or deaths, but I did find a few other relatives so it was definitely worthwhile.

If she left a will it would be registered in the Principal Probate Registry, regardless of where she died.
It is also worth trying the Miscellaneous Overseas collection of BMD held by The National Archives, quite separate from the GRO indexes on Familyrelatives and Findmypast, although there is some overlap. Unfortunately these are only available on film (but will be online eventually). They are in RG32-36, indexed in RG43
