Hello Sara
Yesterday I went to The West Yorkshire Archive in Wakefield to try and find Isabella in the burials, she is not there. I was so sure her nephew did the right thing and took her back to her family. I am so sorry I have wasted your time looking for her.
Hopefully I may find out more from the Borthwick Institute, they may have the records from when she went into York asylum and records of her time in The Friends Retreat. There is a mention of here in the National Archive with a reference number.
The death certificate for Mary Taylor who passed away in 1840 arrived this week. It is the strangest of documents.
1) There is no cause of death.
2) She died on the 5th June 1840 and was buried on the 10th June.
3) her death was not registered until 19th June 1840.
4) place of death - Horsforth.
Thanks to you we know she passed away at Bank House.
The registrar in Leeds must have thought the certificate strange as he sent me a copy of the original entry in the register of deaths.
Thanks for all you have done Sara, I shall let you know if I find out any more on Isabella and her mother Mary.
Kind regards
Rose
