I don't know if this is the case or not on: your husband SSN not being in the Social Security Death index may be because you are still living. Are you collecting Social security off of his account? From what I understand is that they can not close out a Social Security number until it is no long being used by anyone.(Children spouses etc) I don't know about the place of death, except I've ran into several who have died in other parts of the country like second homes. For example there address was Ohio but they also lived in Florida.
