I've read all three books in the past four years, six at the most. I don't think any are older than 10 years.
One is about this all female society in the future, after some great disaster. The main character and her friends were guards of some sort. They found an abandoned house from our society with fashion magazines, make up and clothes. In the end, the main character leaves on a boat in the end. I think I remember reading that the author was inspired by boarding school.
Another is a book with a teenage boy protagonist whose last name was something like Umber. His mother's name was Dolores. I remember because I felt that Dolores Umber was too similar to Dolores Umbridge. Anyway, they moved into some sort of mainly empty town full of graveyards. I think the boy might have been a necromancer. The overall plot was him searching for his father who had mysteriously disappeared.
The third took place in a city with a dark atmosphere. The main character was a teenage girl who was in training to become an engineer or something similar. She and her best friend, a boy who later turns out to be some sort of monstrous pest that inhabits the city, hire the love interest to get them out of the city. There may have been airships at this point, I'm not sure. I also remember that her mother had some sort of sickness or insanity and was in a hospital or home.

Last one sounds a bit like Fever Crumb or one of Phillip Reeve's other books, but I'm not sure...

#2 may be Death Watch by Ari Berk ...They say the dead should rest in peace. Not all the dead agree. This start to The Undertaken trilogy is a “thought-provoking gothic fantasy” and a “genuinely eerie tale” (Publishers Weekly).
When Silas Umber’s father, Amos, doesn’t come home from work one night, Silas discovers that his father was no mere mortician, but an Undertaker who worked to bring The Peace to lost and wandering souls. With Amos gone, Silas and his mother move back to Lichport, the crumbling seaside town where he was born, and Silas seizes the opportunity to investigate his...

#3 maybe Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld?

The first one is Nomansland, by Lesley Hauge - I was actually thinking about it just the other day.
Interesting take on an all-female society.

I basically am shooting in the dark here. GoodReads has a fairly comprehensive list of steampunk http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/618.Best_Steampunk_Books assuming the book you are looking for falls in the category.
