I searched for Arthur more than once in the data set that should have contained his death certificate.
However, the indexing was just failing. Even just the last name and a year failed.
And in a moment of brilliance or madness, I decided to try his given name and the death year. I was surprised when the search engine allowed such a search, many will not allow a search unless there is a surname.
Guess what, it was indexed/transcribed wrong. I was glad I tried the unusual search.

Hennedy was the indexing. Kennedy is the name. They managed to get it right on his wife's name, just not his.
I submitted a correction.
I knew it was there, how to free it from the indexing horrors was the challenge.
After several attempts, I beat the system at it's own game.
Tenacity and creativity for the win.
