Where were pre-1885 deaths in Maunabo recorded?
The civil registry in Maunabo has death records starting at 1885. The church has none although they have baptisms starting at 1800. Where were these deaths recorded?

It's not that straightforward, unfortunately. The deaths would be recorded in the Libros de Entierros of the Registros Parroquiales of Parroquia San Isidro de Manaubo. However, the only death records they have are from 1980-1981 and 1984. The Baptisms and Marriages start about 1800 and for marriages 1802. This does not mean that they are accessible, many early records are in poor condition. I would also suggest exploring the municipalities closest to the barrio where your ancestors might be.
Hope this helps,
