I'm mystified as to what became of her. She married in 1852 to John Thompson. I found her as a widow in 1881 living in Darlington. A very kind soul searched through registers of three cemetaries in Darlington and a couple of church registers for her burial but could'nt find her. According to the electoral registers the house they resided in 1881 was empty from 1882-1887. She was 54 in 1881. In 1881 she had shortened her name to Isabel when it should be Isabella. George

Hi This might be impossible but I'll ask anway. I'm looking for a woman called Isabella aged 64yrs, b Alston CUL. I'm starting to suspect that she remarried sometime between 1881 & 1891 as I can't find her death. May be in County Durham. George
