Isabel Davey born 1855
« on: Sunday 11 December 22 21:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone, I am researching my 3rd great aunt Isabel Davey, born in 1855 in Armley, Leeds. She is the second daughter of Robert Davey and Elizabeth Chittleburgh. I have only found her on the 1861 and 1871 census. I cannot find a suitable marriage or death for her. I have found nothing in overseas records.

Elizabeth died in 1863 and Robert remarried to a lady named Jane some time before 1871. I can't find either in the 1881 census but in 1891 Robert is a widow and living with his daughter Mary Elizabeth and her family in Todmorden.

There is a person called Bella Davey in 1891 and 1901 censuses that I've ruled out (she is from London).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions  :)

If this is your Isabella then her husband Henry died 17th May 1922, left a probate record mentioning son Samuel Shenton.

Thanks Comberton, maddys52 and johnhood, I will look into these suggestions.

The marriage between Isabel Davis and Henry Shenton looks possible. It is the correct area. To know definitively I think I'll have to purchase the marriage cert and see what the father's name is etc.
