I found that Isabella MacLeod death by google...
A Hull paper I think..
Hmmmm. LEWIS WOMAN DIES AT 107 “... WOMAN DIES AT 107 Mrs. Isabella MacLeod, oldest inhabitant of the island of Lewis, died last night in ... ” First match of your search in this article.
http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk
There are some other Scots ladies reorted dying on there at good ages,but I do not have credit to look at them other than the small piece of headline.
I did check for the Isabella Macleod 107 yrs death in The Dorset Echo but could not see it....But of course there were some additions from around that time missing...Sods law is it not??
The lady at the Dorset History place said that if it was reported in the Dorset Echo then it has to be in a Major paper as well.. Hence my search as above and the only thing that came up...
Hope this helps.. Not a lot I guess but would like to totally discount it if its not anything to do with "our"search..
Back to some drudgery before Mr H returns from school ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Article text:

Just got home from food shopping , found your message Viv , none of those names ring any bells with me. I know what I would ring if I had a chance,something that supported Diane's head. My goodness she has caused a lot of work and still she eludes us.
Love Evelyn X

So glad to see you Evelyn......keep your chin up girl! <3
The names probably won't mean anything to you Evelyn, especially as your mother never talked much about her past. There are Donalds and Isabellas and Catherines in the hundreds.
Chris, the obituary I mentioned was from the Stornoway Gazette. :-D
Jan, I think Viv sent for the death cert of that Robert Macleod many moons ago - she discounted him (she's like that! ;-) )
Choccy, that's definitely the same woman..........if only we could find a family member who may know something :-S
I emailed the local church to where she lived, in the hope that the Minister may know if any of her descendants were still around but haven't received a reply as yet.
No reply from my contact on FB either :-(
Yes FBG. No FBG. Three bags full FBG. :-P I is doing my bestest but will try harder - promise :-D
sheeeeeesh...............................some people ;-)
