Could anyone please clarify what is actualy meant by the words "in attendance " when entered in column 7 concerning the informant of the death

It doesn't neccessarily mean that the person was actually in attendance at the death - just that they had been seeing the deceased regularly.

Older certificates often say "present at death".
