George Jackson may have died in Dundee Royal Infirmary but that does not mean that he lived in Dundee. A death may be registered in the district where it took place or, more common in my experience, in the district where the deceased lived or where his next of kin were living. If you enter the surname and given name on SP, confine the year range to 1882 to 1886 and leave the "place" column at "all districts" there are five possibilities for George Jackson. If you narrow the year range to 1884-1885 there are still three. If you restrict the search to Dundee there are none in either of these periods suggesting that George lived elsewhere, probably in the costal towns of Angus or Fife.
