Thank you Sandra,
So we can narrow Nora's date of death between 1945 & 1950 ?

There are no death certificates available online for the period you require.  Unfortunately, you would need to purchase the certificate from New York.

For New York City death records after 1948, unfortunately, access is very limited currently. 

Only the following relations to the deceased can request both a death certificate and the confidential cause of death medical report:

    Spouse
    Domestic partner
    Parent
    Child
    Sibling
    Grandparent
    Grandchild
    Informant listed on the certificate
    Person in charge of disposition

The following relations to the deceased can also request a death certificate, but not the cause of death medical report:

    Niece/nephew
    Aunt/uncle
    Great grandchild and great-great grandchild
    Grandniece/grandnephew

If you are not listed above as an entitled party, you must document your right to get a death certificate.

I don't see any likely matches for her in online NYC death indexes, so possible she may have died elsewhere or was somewhere else for the 1950 census.

I may have to wait until I make contact with a living relative to see if they know when Nora died.

Have you tried to see if there is a death notice for Nora's daughter Catherine that died 24 April 2003 and Nora's son James that unfortunately I don't have a date of death for. Sorry !
