You didn't answer my question: have you got the 1862 death certificate?

[Jomot]

Have you considered this one?

1864 Gateshead Isabella Atcheison Apr-Jun 10a /316

Durham Records Online free index has it as Isabella Atchison of High Turnpike Gate, born about 1766

You still haven't answered my question. Have you got that death certificate? If not,  how do you know it is 'your' Isabella?

[rayaco]

Where would we get a death certificate from? We need a rough idea of where she died, this is what we are trying to find out. Info we have is from bmd and family search

Certificates can be ordered online from www.gro.gov.uk

But, seeing as a burial has been found for an Isabella in that area at that time, and it was for a toddler, then it seems likely that this death was for her.

Just because you have found the death of an Isabella Atkinson, doesn't mean you can automatically assume that it's your Isabella.

There is only one death of an Isabella Atkinson in Houghton R.D. in 1862 - the one in the 3rd quarter.  Durham Records Online only show one burial of an Isabella Atkinson in Houghton RD in the same year and this is a three year old child . It follows therefore that there is the strongest likelihood is that the death you assumed was your Isabella is in fact of this three year old child.

You need to look elsewhere I'm afraid.

Hi Rayaco

I was wondering what evidence you have that her surname is Atkinson - 1841, 51 & 61 have her as variations of Aitcheson/Acheson

1861 has her as Isabella Aitcheson

Also Acheson in 1841 and Atchison in 1851

At marriage her husband's surname was given as Atkinson 

WIlliam Atkinson married Isabella Turnbull at Heworth on 26th April 1800.
