Hello

I have been having difficulty finding the death date of Margaret Goffet, whom was born in 1795 in Cockermouth Cumberland.


She married Jonathan Steel in 1815, according to www.cumberland roots.net and marriage parish records for Stapleton.

However, her death date is elusive, there are many Margaret Steels on free bmd, however there are many search results and I am unsure whom is Margaret

any help will be greatly appreciated with thanks

Have you found her on 1841 census ?
If she died before 1837 she won't be on freebmd

Did they have any children, and, if so, were they also from Cockermouth?
Thank-you.

How did you work back to these people?

I have traced back to these people through the use of certificates, free bmd and family search website. It has taken me a good two and a half years to get back to the late 1700s

You must tell us the details of their children ................you can't expect us to work 'blind'
