Usually death certs for adults were registered by a spouse or child, or a neighbour, doctor, workhouse master but you did occasionally get siblings or uncles/aunts nephews nieces etc register a death. I would imagine Mary Ann Gasson (Nee Smith's) death was registered by her hubby or a neighbour/doctor but you never know.
Death certs in 1885 England do not give actual parents names. If the death was registered by a parent, it may say "mother" or father" as the informant. By 1885, relationship to the deceased was often given, in the early years it wasn't always the case.
