Title: Isabella Chapman born Q4 1841 York
Post by: Cockneyrebel on Monday 17 November 25 12:09 GMT (UK)
Isabella was a daughter of John Chapman(1796-1854) and Ann Brunton (c1809-1861) she married Henry Maxwell 8 Apr 1863 York, he died Q4 1864 (born 1835). Then she married William Dent Q4 1865 York, they had 3 sons, Arthur Horace 1867-1946, Alfred Henry born and died 1870 and Harry born  Q2 1872. William Dent died Q3 1879 in Liverpool, Isabella lived in Liverpool at 1881 with Arthur and Harry; Harry was at Fort George, St Peter Port, Guensey as a Private at 1891 but after that I can't find him?
Also unable to find Isabella after 1881 but presume she died before 1891?

An Isabella Dent did die in Liverpool in Q/E Mar 1887 - but her birth year was out - (gives it as about 1833) - so may not be the correct Isabella.

Could this be Harry's death?

1881 census gives birthyear as 1846

Only 2 of that name showing on the 1881 - both b Yorks but one was b 1828 & was living in the Ormskirk RD in 1881.  The 1887 death was registered in the Liverpool RD which is where Isabel was living in 1881   

Have you looked for a possible remarriage for her?

Thank you Kloumann, that could be him, pity it doesn't give the date or show an image.

The death of Isabella in 1887 Liverpool seems to be the nearest especially as her age was recorded diffently on the censuses of 1871 & 1881.
As to Harry will have to give up on the Sheffield death, I wonder if there are any military records of him in Guernsey?
