Find Ancestors

Hi again Patchem, I know what you mean, time to call it a night now. Thanks again for all your help. If you have any fresh thoughts tomorrow it would be good to hear from you. I'm sure we have the right Isabella now though.

Kind regards

Kathryn and good night.

UPDATE

Further to my previous posts on this one I now have an update.

Isabella Newton born 1843 Hartlepool
Father Richard Newton, not sure who mum is though.
Isabella Newton marries Thomas Boyd in Hartlepool on 28 May 1861. I think Thomas died in 1877 or thereabouts, without checking back on threads etc.

I next find Isabella marrying a John Ambrose Bromhead Laxton in Fulham on 10 November 1900. Here surname is given as Pells (remember way back we had three names for Isabella. Isabella Laxton nee Boyd nee Pearls or Pell. Everything falls into place now apart from the fact that Isabella was a Boyd and when she marries J Laxton her name is given as Isabella Pells a widow. I know for sure now this is one in the same as on her marriage cert to John her father's name is given as Richard Newton decesased. Who was Pells? I have searched for a marriage of Boyd and Pells from around 1877 when Thomas died but can't find anything. Witnesses at the wedding of Isabella and John were Alfred Gibbs Laxton, Mary Elizabeth Laxton and David Cross Hay. On this marriage cert John's father's rank or profession is given as (what looks like) a Relicoing Officer. Has anyone any ideas on what profession that is please albeit John's father is given as deceased on the cert?

Has anyone please any ideas or could possibly solve this mystery of Isabella being a Boyd then being Pells when she marries John?

Any help would be much appreciated. I now have the marriage cert for Isabella and Thomas and Isabella and John which was just a hunch so I ordered the last one and it paid off apart from the fact that Isabella gives her surname as Pells.

Kind regards

Kathryn
