Isabella Watson was born in Glasgow in 1850, third child and first daughter of William Watson and Jean MacMillan. When she was 8 or 9, her family moved to Addingham when her father got a job as manager of a spinning mill. He later bought into Lister's of Manningham Mills in Bradford and was the first of four generations of William Watsons to be managing directors of Lister and Co Ltd.
I have reams of information (some of it based on
https://bradfordunconsideredtrifles.wordpress.com/manningham-mill-people/) about her brothers William and Joseph and their descendants, but I'm struggling to find Isabella's death.
In 1911 she was still unmarried and living in Addingham with her widowed father (who died the following year) her sister Margaret, Margaret's husband James Harrison and their daughter Jeanie MacMillan Harrison.
She was aged 3 months in 1851, 8 in 1861, 18 in 1871, 27 in 1881, 42 in 1901 and 50 in 1911. (I haven't found them yet in 1891).
There is a death of Isabella Watson in 1923, registered in Skipton, but she was allegedly only 68; if this is the one I am looking for she would have been 72. On the other hand she has a long history of her age being wrong.
On the other hand, a Miss Watson was listed first among the mourners at the funeral of Isabella's brother William in 1925, who could have been either his daughter Elizabeth or his sister Isabella.
I have not found a probate record, or a death announcement in the British Newspaper Archive, or anything on FindaGrave.
Does anyone have access to, for example, MIs in Addingham Churchyard, where her mother was buried and presumably also her father? Or any other suggestions where to look to see if she is the Isabella Watson I am looking for?
