As a Landowber there should be wills or other transactions. Have you tried the Nirth Yorkshire archives to see what they hold?

James is on one tree on here go to Search/ search all members trees. You can then send the tree owner a pm.

Look under ‘search’ then under ‘search all member trees’.
Put in the man’s name and birth year - find the entry - click on ‘FIND OUT MORE’ and send a message

Where have you looked for their deaths?

Are these people on any censuses?

ADDED
They are on 1851 at least, so look for their deaths on the GRO site, which is FREE and gives age at death from 1837
