Have you considered the Orkney Family History Society..

Genuki Orkney will give lots of information where records ca be found. There is even a page for Sanday.

Have just tried to log into Scotland's People but the message "Safari can't find the server" is coming up at present. Google says NRS buildings will remain open and on site services will continue following the death of HM.
Amokavid also having problems logging in (see General Chat board)

Maybe the reason that online services are unavailable?

Scotland's People website is probably where most of us would start looking - if she didn't marry, there may be a death search showing which hopefully would include mmn amongst other details.

You would be able to view and download a pdf of the death certificate if over 50 years ago. You would need to purchase credits on the site - 30 for £7.50 and it would be 6 credits to download a record.

There may also be possible marriages to check.

Look for info using Scotland's People website, when it is back online

If ,as your post implies, she was still single in 1911, look for a death or a marriage
