Hello Craig. I copied the page from the death register and didn't include the column where the date that the entry was made is put.
The record is for the death of John Little on the 16 May 1889 in Newton-le-Willows. His wife Emma registered the death and it puts her in Liverpool on the day of registration, yes? She didn't go to the funeral. It might be a clue to when she went home up north to Sunderland.
Death duty register record – index to records: (1889. Liverpool 6223)

The Death Duty Index is nothing to do with registering the death - it is about death duties and gives the name of the executor of the will (I think). If you have access to Ancestry the National Probate Calendar has the info you need.

Have been trying to reply to your PM but not succeeding: I said
- Chrissie Smiff : Yes, that is the right John Little, but not what I am after. If I knew how to put an attachment on here I could show you.....I have a screenprint from fmp and the list is headed 'Death Duty register record'. Maybe I am wrong and there wasn't another column on the left for the actual date that the death was recorded, maybe they are all lumped together as three months of deaths. I just want to know if I can find the date that Emma Little was in Liverpool, because there is a mystery about when she went home to Sunderland. However I have been reminded that she was in Liverpool on the 9th June!

Frodsham, there is no more info (probably less) in the Death Duties index than is in the National Probate Calendar. I can't work out what you think you can find out from it - maybe I'm missing your point.

I think Frodsham is trying to trace Emma's movements but I don't think you can make any assumptions from the Death Duty Register information.
You say that John Little died in Liverpool but the only death I can see was registered in Warrington, which isn't Liverpool, so you cannot fix Emma in Liverpool from that information.
I cannot view the Death Duty registers, but do you know for a fact that Emma was his executor? Also, even if she was, she didn't have to be in Liverpool to appear on the register, probate can be done from anywhere in the country/world.

Sorry OC, I didn't express myself very well. I suppose I was trying to find out what information Frodsham thinks is hidden in the death duty registers that isn't in the NPC.

There can be a lot more information in the Death Duty Records - not the index, but the actual documents (at Kew) - only up to 1903 though. Entries could be annotated over a period of years, so can give information on death or remarriage of spouse or any of the beneficiaries, changes of address, birth of later grandchildren, etc.The National Archives, Kew – Research Service Offered
