Am looking for Margaret Foster b 1862 Bromfield, Cumberland in the Carlisle area on 1891 Census.

I have a death ref for her in September qtr 1891 in Carlisle, so should be around somewhere.

As far as I know, she is single and had no children.

Any clues?

Thanks

Margaret Fosler Wife Married Female 29 1862 - Bromfield, Cumberland, England

Thanks SAFC. Just to confuse things, this is unfortunately her brother and his wife, also called Margaret.

In 1881 Margaret was servant to John Kipling Jackson, King Street, Wigton. Aged 19 years.

so this is Margaret in 1881?

1881 Census

20, King Street, Wigton, Cumberland, England

John Kipling Jackson Head Married Male 35 1846 Grocer Yorkshire, England
Mary Jackson Wife Married Female 35 1846 - Dufton, Westmorland, England
Henrietta Jackson Daughter Single Female 2 1879 - Wigton, Cumberland, England
Edward William Jackson Son Single Male 0 1881 - Wigton, Cumberland, England
Margaret Foster Servant Single Female 19 1862 Dom Serv Broomfield, Cumberland, England

I cannot see her anywhere .................. I looked every which way I know, including using initials only (m h) in case she was in an asylum or prison.

I think you are going to have to buy that death certificate to see if the informant and place of death give you any clues.

Thanks Sylvia ! Yes, that is her in 1881. That's the last I have her except for a possible death reference in 1891.

I'll keep looking.....

What about this marriage??

I spoke to a family member earlier who mentioned something about Margaret marrying somebody called 'Eastman'.
