Hi Eileen, I would say it depends how is your family members are well versed in genealogy and if they speak Portuguese.
A 1941 death will be at the civil registry at the respective concelho. Did this ancestor die in Ponta Delgada or somewhere in the council of Ponta Delgada? If so, they I think they would fill out a request, pay, and have the record mailed to you.
