Apologies if I have asked before (at any point in time !).

I am trying to find the death of Ann Foster (Nee Davidson) b1833 Broomfield, Cumberland.

She married William Foster 1834 - 1896.

These are my 2xgreat grandparents.

I have her & William in 1891 Census in Crookdake, Cumberland, aged 56 & 57 years old, but not after that.

When & where did she die? I think Cumberland, (but possibly Co Durham) (?)

Thanks!

Thanks Greyghost, that's them! They seemed to be in & around the Wigton area of Cumberland.

They had several children, of which I have their descendants. Just need Ann's death info.

Either of these - same RD as 1891 census.

Though not seeing William's death there in 1896, the nearest per age is a Gateshead reg.

Thanks Greyghost. It looks like the 1st death entry of 1897. Age and year of birth seem correct.

Thanks again.
