I'm sorry I don't know about obtaining an Irish will.

There certainly does seem to be some connection England. Assuming the ages on the death certificates are accurate, there does seem to be quite an age difference between Eliza and James Richard PARKINSON. I wonder if she had been previously married? I'm assuming most people think her maiden name was MADDER as this is her child's middle name - it may not be though. Shame we can't find a record of their marriage - either a certificate or a newspaper announcement. Will have another look.

Modified to add:
Just re-reading your original post, I see that you have a note that the quilt may have been by Eliza's mother Catherine MADDER - does the note actually show this name?

Actually, here's another report that mentions Martha HALL receiving a prize in 1880.

Great research AMBLY.

Of possible interest, there are many newspaper articles about the Orphan Asylum. This snippet from a report of the Founders Day Anniversary in 1877 describes a bit of the prize giving.

Welcome to RootsChat.

On the GRO index you can search for Hannah STEPHENSON deaths.
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/  (free search, but you need to register)

None that look right in Chester le Street between 1851 and 1861, however at Auckland there are a couple. I would suggest going by her age on the 1851 census (born c1814) that this death looks possible:

Dec qtr 1856 Auckland (10a/59) aged 43.

A couple of possible marriages for George STEPHENSON and a Mary in Auckland - Mar qtr 1857 or Mar qtr 1859 (from FreeBMD). Did they have any children - you can check the GRO births for mother's maiden name.

I can see on the 1861 census there are no new children.

Possibly Waun-mwyalchen? (Though the writing on the census doesn't quite look like this.)

I can't help with the name, however the previous entry on the cesus is Brynteg Farm and before that LLwyn celyn Farm which you can see on this 1886 map. So presumably the cottages are somewhere in this vicinity, probably towards the town of Brechfa itself.

I notice that James Richard PARKINSON attained Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (England) in 1834. Does this mean he was resident there at that time? Perhaps he married Eliza in England? I can't see a birth for son Henry Madder PARKINSON in Ireland.  :-\
