Deaths are registered in the district where the event occured. Sometimes this can be away from their home area.
eg. away having hospital treatment
on holiday,
accident
so you need to be flexible about possible areas.

Place of death will be recorded as where death was certified so may not be the actual location, eg. in car accident.
