Biography

Isabella Gray was born around 1829 in Stamford, a town in Lincolnshire close to the border with Rutlandshire and Northamptonshire[1]. She was the daughter of John Gray, a Drum Major in the South Lincs Militia and his wife Charlotte [1][2] and was living in New Sleaford when she met and married Benjamin Gash at Sleaford on 6 November 1849. Their witnesses were David Gash and William Payne[2]

The couple lived in Dunston, Metheringham and Scopwick, all villages within two or three miles of each other, and they had ten known children:

  1. Charlotte (bap. 1850 in Dunston)[3]
  2. David (bap. 1852 in Dunston) [4]
  3. Eliza (bap. 1854 in Dunston) [5]
  4. George (bap. 1855 in Metheringham) [6]
  5. James (bap. 1857 in Scopwick) [7]
  6. Edward (bap. 1859 in Scopwick) [8]
  7. William (bap. 1862 in Scopwick) [9]
  8. Benjamin (bap. 1864 in Scopwick) [10]
  9. David (bap. 1866 in Scopwick) [11]
  10. Samuel (bap. 1870 in Scopwick) [12]

The 1861 Census shows the family in Scopwick lodging with an elderly Elizabeth Gash, who was possibly Benjamin's mother[13]. By 1881 Isabella was a widow living with three of her sons, George, David and Samuel[14]

Other records referencing Isabella include:

  • 1871 England and Wales Census [15]
  • 1891 England and Wales Census [16]
  • 1901 England and Wales Census [17]
  • 1911 England and Wales Census [18]

In 1899 Isabella, "an infirm lady of 73 years" quarrelled with and assaulted William Pacey, a neighbour in Scopwick, and appeared at Sleaford Petty Sessions. The summons was dismissed as "six of one and half a dozen of the other" and Isabella was awarded 3s and 6d for her expenses to be paid by Pacey "Which seemed to please her highly" :-) [19]

Isabella passed away on 14 January 1917 in Scopwick and was buried on 18 January[20][21]
