Links and suggestions from Lisa
Check to see if there are State Census
Records
According to their list state census records aren't
available.
Turn your attention to state and county death records in Maryland. FamilySearch Wiki gives a good overview of what might be available. Maryland Death Records in FamilySearch Wiki
Maryland State Archives website Death Index
Record of Ethel May Murray who died jan. 30, 1908 in Talbot
Co., MD
Maryland Librairies website
