Hi Linda, thanks for that info; I will have a little look at the Isabella you mention. As Jobson isn't that common a name, and her father is Thomas, there is a fair chance of a connection there. Wonder if the Thomas buried in 1812 might be her father then? I still can't find anything further about the alleged inquest into the drowning of Thomas so I think a visit to the Archives is on the cards. I visited Stanwick-St-John a few weeks ago and that beck is so small, a drowning would be difficult...if i get there and find anything, I will let you know.
Thanks again,
Jan :-)
