I have just received a death certificate from 1944 and the informant was the superintendent registrar of the hospital he died in, despite having family who would have been around. Was this commmonplace?

The hospital would be responsible for registering the death - the information given would have come from the patient file, given on admission. They might seek more information from a family member for the certificate, but then they might not.

Read Barbara Dixon's excellent pages on Death Certificates to find out who could be the informant of a death:
