Isabella Sanderson 1900-1969

Lived at Chevington Drift as a child, then after her marriage in 1920 in Ashington/Lynemouth ~ 17 k to the south

Daughter, then wife, of a Miner

1900. Isabella Sanderson born 19/9/1900. -Alnwick Dec 1900 - to George Sanderson & Ann Brookbank . She was baptised Chevington on 10/10/1900 to George & Ann

Isabella Sanderson Niece Single Female 0 1901 - Northumberland, England

The wife above is Isabella Brookbanks, who married Robert Armstrong in 1879 Tynemouth . Isabella's mother was her younger sister, Ann Brookbanks

I wonder if any family ties still today with any of Isabella's first cousins- the above 3 Armstrong girls?? - I looked them up on Ancestry trees and found a Dixon tree that had them on, but > 2000 on the tree, and they were not direct ancestors, & had no descendants or death dates

Pat knows that Isabella spent a lot of time with Granny Floyd, who Pat's mother, Annie 1920, knew as a child and indeed up to the age of 23 .. Granny Floyd was Mrs Mary Jane Floyd , who died 22/11/1943. She was a monthly nurse and probably was engaged originally to take care of baby Isabella, becoming very fond of her. I think she might even have referred to her as Ma

Isabella did have a sister Margaret who married, 1912, Vincent Amos 1889 who died in 1920/21[ no death England 1919-1927- a Vincent R Amos dies Stoke 1932, aged 42, but he b.Stoke 1889] ] of wounds received during the 1st world war, they had a son George born in Sept.1920 - no, birth was 1912. He died in Hawick Scotland in Sept.1976,never married.There was a brother who lived somewhere near Amble Northumberland, I think he must have died in late 1950 can't remember his name but I think his wife was Lizzie. As Alexander went to Australia, this must have been George

There was also a cousin of my Mums called Ivy, her father when.to to Australia when she was very young promising to send for her & her mother, never heard of again. Ivy Hedley married Charles Lymer in 1940  & had Judith 1946, Charles 1947, Diane 1955, & Eileen 1959 they moved to County Durham between 1947 & 1955 - who was Ivy Hedley?? If born 1913 mother was Moffet, 1917 mother was Reid or 1922 mother was Lewis_ Pat knows she was younger than her mother, thus the last. Eveline Lewis married William C Hedley Tynemouth Jun 1921. They just had the one child.

1911C. Eveline Lewis was born ~1903 and has a brother Edward Hall Lewis. Living Seghill

William Lewis Head Married Male Coal Miner Hewer 40 1871 Sunderland Durham
Sarah Ann Lewis Wife Married Female - 33 1878 Seghill Northumberland
Catherine Lewis Daughter - Female - 14 1897 Seghill Northumberland
Georgina Lewis Daughter - Female School 11 1900 Seghill Northumberland
Eveline Lewis Daughter - Female School 8 1903 Seaton Delaval Northumberland
Edward Hall Lewis Son - Male School 5 1906 Seghill Northumberland

Looking for a marriage of a William Lewis to a Sarah Ann ? 1895-1898, I cannot find any marriage in Northumberland/Durham and no surname that rings a bell even anywhere else But a Sarah Ann Hall marries John William Lewis Tynemouth Jun 1896 . John William Lewis, b. Sunderland, is in 1871C & 1881C, not in 1891C, then as William J Lewis with Sarah, Kate & Georgina in 1901C

So I now know that Ivy's grandmother was a Sarah Ann Hall, born ~ 1878 - BUT, cannot find her in 1881C nor in 1891C!, to find her father BOO HOO

When I get home I can find photos also a medal from the king to Vincent Amos, I don't know where they first lived only that they lived in  Amble when I was a child. I don't know how Margaret

supported  herself or her child after her husband died.Could she have married, again, a William Elliot in 1945?
