No Manhattan death certificate for 13 June 1916

[Michael ONeil]

OK due to the fabulous success I've had with other posts I thought I'd throw this one up for opinion. It's not exactly a look up so I've posted it outside that particular forum area.

Mary A. O'Neil died 13 June 1916.
Obituary (NY Times) appears 16 June 1916 and says funeral today 9.30 A. M.
She's buried at Calvary Cemetery - I manage a Find A Grave family plot.

I have her full probate packet and both this and the Obituary give her address as 106 East 12th Street - the probate package states this was were she died. This was the family home from 1912.

There's no Manhattan death certificate!

Have tried all variants of name, all NYC boroughs, year either side, nursing homes, funeral homes, undertaker records, burial permits (Calvary claim they don't keep them) - you name it. Have even gone as far as thinking she died further afield in NY State or adjoining states - zip all folks. Plus given she died 13 June and was buried 9.30 A. M. 16 June then how far away could this have taken place in order for all the arrangements to take place?

Suggestions?

On www.italiangen.org, there is a Mary O'Neil, age 75, with a death date of Jan. 13, 1916 in Manhattan.  Could that be her with Jun. mistranscribed as Jan.?

Great minds think alike shellyesq?

Unfortunately that wasn't the case - I had that checked a while back:

Manhattan Death Certificate #1652, 1916
Mary O’NEIL died 13 Jan 1916, 41 Rose St., tenement
Age 75,female, white, widowed; born 13 Jan 1841, Ireland; 60 years in NYC & US; housework.
Cause cerebral apoplexy.
Burial Calvary Cemetery, 15 Jan.
The text shows Jan. without any doubt, and the cert. number corroborates this, as low numbers come in the beginning of the year.  No parents are listed in this record.  It's peculiar to have an exact birth date and no parents named.

Are you looking at the death registers page by page ?  Perhaps there is no READABLE death cert.  FHL entry for Manhattan death certs 1866-1919 says "many records are light and faded and difficult to read.  Some records are out of focus and cannot be adjusted ... some certs are in books and date of death is in the inner margin and may be hard to read ..."

Perhaps inadvertent error in the data posted to IGG.
