Am looking for the death of Edward Foster / Forster after 1871 Census.

In 1861 he marries Barbara Elliot Grieves (b 1829 Alston).

In 1861 & 1871 he is living with wife Barbara and children in Newtown.

1881 he has died as wife Barbara is now a Widow!

So, when & where did he die? I Presume Cumberland somewhere?

Any help most welcome......

Thanks

When was Edward born please?

He was born c1837 in Walton / Irthington area of Cumberland - near Carlisle.

be careful with that 1881 census, there is another Barbara Foster, not Forster different children?

edit the Barbara Foster is the right one as the older children who are not with her in 1871,but are in 1881 are confirmed on the GRO index.

Thanks Nyx & Malyon.

Malyon, where did you get that burial date from?? (Not sure if correct Edward, but curious none the less).

The RD Brampton covers Irthington.

?? This could be the death that Malyon posted, so one or other spelt incorrectly. Hers looks to be from FMP
