The Common Room / Re: Possible registration district changes

A death is registered in the district where it occurs, regardless of the person's home address.
It's entirely possible that your family members were patients in a hospital away from home, or they could have died in accidents while on holiday. You will find the exact place of death on the death certificate along with the usual home address (if different).
(In my own family, I couldn't find my great-great-grandfather's death registration. He'd lived all his life in Oxfordshire, but the only possible death record was in London so I took a punt on it. The cert confirmed that he died at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington while staying nearby with his recently widowed son-in-law.)
