Hello...I have a death cert of someone who died in hospital in 1962 and it does state her home address. The informant was her husband and it says the relationship to the deceased on the cert. I suppose it varies but you should get the information you are hoping for. Sandra. xxx

Her home address is likely to be in the occupation column as will the information about whether she was a spinster or a widow / wife of ( name) and his occupation. Next of kin will not be named as such but a relative may have registered the death and then the relationship should be shown. A hospital death could have a member of hospital staff as the informant...or even the Coroner. Gwyn
