Need help finding Isabella/Bellah Read born c1796 in Ribchester, Lancs. She died in 1869 and never married. There is a Lydia Read born c1760 who is probably her mother who died in 1844. I think they lived at The Boathouse, Ribchester.

Thanks
Samantha

There are two marriages William and Ellen in 1789 and William and Lydia which occured in Blackburn in 1783. Unfortunately all the birth records for this period only record the father's name so not sure who Isabella's parents were and which siblings are hers. Was hoping the censuses would shed some light.
