Normally if they die in Aberdeen there is still a way it can be registered in Banffshire but I don't think hers was which was quite strange.
Not in 1962.
Until quite recently a death always had to be registered in the district in which the death took place.
That's why it's always worth a look in a nearby city if you can't find a death where you expect it, because the person may have been taken into a large hospital in the city and died there.
