Interestingly Conjugal Status had a - instead of any words.

?Is this a reflection of the fact that they did not know where he was?

What is stated as the relationship of informant to deceased?  Are you reading from a full or partial official transcription ?  If partial it may be the status was NOT ordered...

But a long 'dash' on a real deal certificate usually indicates the answer to that question was not noted.  That's the difference between 'un-stated' and 'unknown' ... assuming NSWBDM practices pre WWII.
