Isabella Shotton - nee Miller

[David Unknown]

Hi - does anyone please know Isabella Shotton nee Miller? (She may have married Frederick Gray in 1897)?  She had sons Peter Minto Miller and James (Burlinson) Miller. She may have had a daughter Eliza J Shotton in about 1874 but this is not corroborated. Many thanks for your help -David.

Hi David.
You haven't given any dates or places for these people, which makes searching very difficult.
Please give some more information.

This post is also on the wrong board, (at the top of the board it says 'Please don't post requests here) - I will ask the moderators to move it to an appropriate board where there may be more chance someone will see it.

Hi goldie61 - many thanks for your reply - my apologies it’s my first post and have to admit I’m not too sure how to find the correct place for this post. Thanks for your help and I will endeavour to get dates and places as suggest - 🙏David.

Marriage 1878 Sunderland Isabella MILLER to William Burlinson LAYBOURN

There is no census that I could see where Isabella and her husband William are together

Children -

William LAYBOURN born 1880 Sunderland (Mother – Miller)
Jane LAYBOURN born 1882 Sunderland (Mother – Miller)
Ethel LAYBOURN born 1886 Sunderland (Mother - Miller)

Eleanor Laybourn is in the 1881 census with her grandfather Michael Miller in Bishopwearmouth.  Also in same household are Peter and James Miller
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-XQLS

Baby William Laybourn is with other family in 1881.

I did not find yet a marriage between Isabella Miller- Shotton, Or Isabella Laybourn- Shotton


William Burlinson Laybourn re-married in 1890 Sunderland to widow Mary Ann Paterson, nee Forster.
By 1891 census, William Burlinson Laybourn is with wife Mary Ann.
His children and her children are all together in the same house with them.

David, Is this the correct family? Is it the information that you wanted, or are you searching for something else?
