Exapnd on what you know.
When/where was the last child born?
That's the very earliest she could have died, and therefore an obvious starting point.
Also, Does she for example appear on the 1841/1851 census?

Please re-read and answer the points made.
If you have other family members, then the very best way to present the info is:
Spouse: NAme, b year, place, occupation
Child : Name "A" b YEAR PLACE
Child : NAme "B" b YEAR Place
If you want add the date and place (& spouse) of child marriages, fine. It's all background, but you need to give the primary info first.
