Spanish Death Certificate how to obtain (death was in 1969)

[Tom 23]

In the case of a divorced woman I wonder if she would be listed under the surnames of both husbands? if so, would be a further check to see if you've found the right person

Thanks for the suggestion, no luck though.

That seems to be incorrect.

There is no legal obligation for the death overseas of a British national to be registered with the British Embassy. However, there are the advantages that a British style death certificate is then available and that a record of the death is afterwards held at the General Register Office in the UK.

But we are talking about Spain in 1969. This may not have been the case then.

Have you tried contacting the authorities in Barcelona.
The death will have been registered there, whether the British authorities were notified or not.
In the small town where I live, the records are kept by the Town Hall, but not sure if this would be the case with a city as large as Barcelona.
Might be worth contacting them to ask.
