I am trying to find the deaths of my 3xgreat grandmother Margaret Foster b1809 Walton in the Carlisle area? and her father (4xgreat grandfather) William b 1778 b Cumberland (Place unknown possible around Carlisle?).

They both appear on 1841 census for Lamonby, Parish of Shilton (HO107 / 74 Folio 5, Page 4) with her 3 sons John, William & Edward.

I cannot find anything after 1841 census.

**Edit - Margaret was a single mother !! **

Any help in locating their deaths would be helpful.

Thanks
