Since Annie would only have been around 66 years old (26 at marriage) it's distinctly possible that she died in 1956 or later, so that the record isn't online.

The death register entry doesn't have an RCE, the entry having been made with the Procurator Fiscal as informant. The cause of death as above is "as per verdict of Jury" which means a criminal trial of some sort, as I don't believe that an FAI involved a jury.

If there was a criminal trial then NAS will have a record, but the problem is that the index is on the basis of the name of the accused, but that can be solved by a look in the local newspapers. Whether or not there will be any mention of Annie, however, ....................

Later correction - An FAI did involve a jury.

david ,thanks for that, can you explain what rce means, i like you agree that there is a criminal aspect to this which is compounded by the fact that annie was not named on his death certificate, i do not think my grandmother had any more contact with annie ( her mother ) after this as she was brought up by another family member, will the nas help trace any criminal trial

If he was in the Royal Navy, then there's a chance of a service record, which will be at The National Archives at Kew, - it's often best to use the services of an expert in these Kew records, - I can pass on a recommendation to you.
