Here in Ireland, Civil Registration of Deaths commenced in 1864. Even after that date, many deaths were still not registered.
During the Potato Famine (mid 1840s) when about one million died, many of the people who died from starvation and or disease were buried in mass graves with no records kept.
I do feel sorry for those who have Irish ancestry due to the difficulty there is tracing their Irish ancestors.
Another explanation for missing burials could be the person had a mid life crisis or became mentally disturbed, left their family and then died, and the body never properly identified. Not necessarily a traveller, just a random person who went missing.
Maybe he/she is recorded and his/her job included a lot of travelling. They died suddenly and were buried in the local parish instead of their usual residence.
