Thanks again bbart. I had a look at the original. It's tantalisingly close to what I want it to be LOL but all the 1851census and newspaper reports swing it the other way.
I think the William in the FindMyPast record was born in the parish Thirsk which is in the North Riding of Yorkshire but I can't yet make out the actual place, it might refer to Carlton Miniott which was part of Thirsk parish

I hadn't seen this particular section and haven't seen the original.
The problem here however is my William Parker, on the 1851 census states he was born in Wandsworth, Surrey.
He was a local voice in Charterist politics of the time and multiple newspaper reports describe him as living in Lime Street, Newcastle which both the 51 census refers too as well as the marriage cert of his daughter.
Do you know where the actual image was accessed?

Ah well, that didn't work. The Isabella Parker at Bishop Wearmouth was a James Parker, a ship owner. More digging ahead  :>)

Well, darn it!  I was so hoping it would solve the mystery.

Yup. Also just realised I missed a line out of that message, ... should read that she was "the wife of: James Parker.
Thanks again for your help and advice

Back to the drawing board we go!

Wow bbart, many thanks for all that detective work, I'm very appreciative indeed.
I'll certainly be looking into this a bit more.
I had a look at the Durham site, didn't give a lot more info than you mentioned (buried 5 july 1851), I'm going to get the GRO record, thanks for the reference there.
I found a couple more Isabella Parkers on the Durham site but only one was feasible by age and she appears to be married to someone else on the 1841 census (lives at a different address as well)  so the death cert might be for mine
I'll keep you posted, again many thanks for the help

So, Jesmond cemetery got back, turns out there isn't a gravestone, just a burial plot, no other info. Dead end for now

Hi trish
Thanks for all your help. I found a BMD entry for an Isabella Parker who died 1837 in Newcastle, could well be mine. Waiting on the certificate as we speak. Will post when I get that result as well as when I hear from Jesmond
Cheers
Phil

Hi Trish
Thanks for all that. It looks like the Parker / Orwin gravestone might be father / daughter perhaps. Thanks for the Potts info, I'd found the Gateshead marriage details earlier today. I'm hoping that Jesmond cemetery will get back to me next week to give more info on the stone
Good stuff, many thanks
Phil
