well depends what years you are talking about. you can search on Freebmd up to about 1910 after that its a trawl through Ancestry ,which is also free to search but time consuming if you have no time frame. Shirley

I track them through the censuses until they vanish or their partners are widow(er)s...that gives you an idea of time and place, then use freebmd. Before 1837...well I have been lucky and found a few on the National Burial Index, but i don' think that is online so you will have to go to your nearest records office or large libray. Good hunting Joan
