Trying to track down a bit of a side line on my family tree and wondered if anyone could help
This is my great grandfather's first wife
Isabella Catherine Constantine was born 4th March 1849 in Stockport to James Constantine and Esther
Found her in the 1851 census
Both parents died in the next decade (1856 and 1858) and by 1861 she's living with her grandparents, still in Stockport
20 Dec 1868 she married Richard Bowker in Manchester
I then can't find her until she married by greatgrandfather on 23 Dec 1882 in Nuneaton (William Tiday) - she is listed as Isabella Bowker, a widow daughter of James Constantine - so while Nuneaton is a really random place for them to be (though he did spend 16 years in the Army so maybe that explains it)
Then dies in Ashton Under Lyne in 1904
She may be a servant in Stockport in 1881 as Isabella Bowker the age is out and says she's unmarried and born manchester
I can't find a death for Richard Bowker or where they both were, any help appreciated
