Hi, does any one out there have any ideas on how to trace hospital deaths?. My grandmother Margaret Mccarten nee Harris was in a mental institution suffering from bi-polar from 1934c until her death in 1941/2.I can't find a record of her death anywhere.In Liverpool there are 2 mental institutions Rainhill & Winnick,but new to this huntihg malarky so would appreciate any wisdom.Thanks

Her death would be listed in the GRO index in the usual way. Sam x
