Patrick, Unfortunately no death notices found yet, still looking. We dont know why she wasnt registered. She died at home suddenly from famiy accounts, one possibilty is she left behind a husband and 3 very young infants, so maybe he just didnt get around to doing it. The main thing is we know where she is now and we have all info on her in the family book.
