Just as example of FreeBMD - from the census, both the parents you mention were born about 1850, although William is not living in the family in a census post 1881.

Here are possible deaths for Mary Ann and William P below from FreeBMD

have you any idea when the deaths might have occurred?


The best place to look, and you can do this yourself because it is free, is www.freebmd.org.uk


commonly referred to just as freebmd


Volunteers have added all bmds for England and Wales from the start of registration on Jul 1 1837 to, currently, about 1955. They will complete their task with the 1982 records.


You can look for all the marriages, deaths, and births you need on there.
