Meantime back to the question I have examples of Doctors and
caregivers
present at the death as informants but I always assumed that the
informant had to know the deceased, at least briefly, in life and
thus
be able to identify the remains if not present at the passing.


The 1836 Act states;

Section XXV. And be it enacted, That some Person present at the Death
or in attendance during the last Illness of every Person dying in
England after the said First Day of March, or in the case of the Death,
Illness, Inability, or Default of all such Persons, the Occupier of the
House or Tenement, or if the Occupier be the Person who shall have
died, some Inmate of the House or Tenement in which such Death shall
have happened, shall, within Eight Days next after the Day of such
Death, give Information, upon being requested so to do, to the said
Registrar, according to the best of his or her Knowledge and Belief, of
the several Particulars hereby required to be known and registered
touching the Death of such Person : Provided always, that in every Case
in which an Inquest shall be held on any dead Body the Jury shall
inquire of the particulars herein required to be registered concerning
the Death, and the Coroner shall inform the Registrar of the Finding of
the Jury, and the registrar shall make the Entry accordingly.

Note that the date was subsequently changed by the Registration and
Marriage Act Suspension Bill to the 1st. of July 1837.
