Roger, AFAIK there is evidence that the original register as scanned has been updated. For example, my mother has had her married (1947) name added and maiden name reduced to within brackets () in the index. Nor has she been redacted (b.1917) so presumably her death (1977) noted. Cannot remember when the cut-off date is, but someone here will know - it may be in the FAQ on the site. One would have expected deaths to have been entered, at least until the end of rationing and of National Identity cards. That said, where the date or fact of death *has* been entered in the register, one would expect the entry line to no longer be redacted, and my mother's case would seem to confirm this.
