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

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
