   If you look at the FS Catalogue, you will find 3 films for Upperby,   
   including film #7561537 Parish Registers for Upperby, 1846-1930, on   
   which items 15=22 include Burials 1846-1930.  Then search Records,   
   specifying that film number, name, date of death and place of death   
   Upperby, Cumberland.  You will then see the records you have already   
   seen (at Ancestry?) but with the added knowledge that these are   
   transcriptions of Parish Registers.   
      
   (Pity that the LDS don't include the film number and/or title in the   
   Citation they suggest.)
