I have an ancester John Wood married to Isabella Codling on Jan 7th 1800 at Easington nr Guisbro.
In 1841 they are st Skelton aged 65 and 60
In 1851 Isabella is a widow and aged 72 born at Roxby. therefore d o b is 1779.
There is a birth and chr on IGI for Isabella born Nov 1779 at Roxby. Most familiy trees give the death of Isabella as 23 Mar 1791. Can you find me another Isabella or is this death in fact an older Grandma?
I have also been unable to find either JOhns or Isabellas deaths. There is a death of an Isabella Wood in 1853 Guisbro but she is the widow of William Wood.
Any help appreciated Thx

Have you the MIs for Roxby to see how old the Isabella was at her death in 1791?
I feel sure she must have been an old lady and not the Isabella of !779
Thanks again

The death cert I have for Isabella Wood is aged 72 Sept 16th 1853 at Skelton so it must be correct and she was the Widow Of John Wood and not William as on the certificate. Confusing but i am sure the M I will be right. WEll done

Do you have her dying young or did she go on and marry John Wood?
