Many thanks!
I have intended to join NIFHS at some stage to understand what extra information they may have about my ancestors and their relatives. Have you seen that the deaths index has a column for extra information - Margaret's row has "269A", presumably the reference for a card with more information etc.
PS: Margaret's youngest sister Elizabeth is my GGG grandmother
