I did find this link after a search, not sure it answers your question, but very infomative:

I'm quoting England and Wales - I don't have any Scottish death certs for married folks.

Thank you both for trying to help.
I registered my husband's death in 2017 and am named as the informant in section 7a...No address is shown for me.
Section 7b for qualification shows me as 'Widow of deceased. Present at the death.'
My query relates to Section 6, .. Occupation and usual address.
My husband's occupation is stated (retired)
Then in the same section
Husband of (myself, named ) and my occupation ( retired)
Then our home address is shown.
I remember being surprised at the details included, as I had never come across that when viewing other death certificates.

My cert was in the 1980's.
6 - occupation & usual address of deceased
7a - name of informant b- qualification widow of deceased, present at death c usual address (this was the informant's address (& also that of the deceased.)
Sounds like the format of the cert may have been slightly rejigged. I'm sure forum member Antony will be able to help you.
