Isabella Cargill, age 82, widow, C. of England, born in Ireland, died in Feby from senile debility

Her age is exaggerated based on other records, including the birth of a son about 1842.
↑ Isabella Shaw Cargill, in Find A Grave.

includes a photo of the gravestone she shares with her husband, giving her death date as Feby 4 1871 and her age as 82 (the first digit is clear, the second not, but was transcribed as 82). She appears to be identified as "the wife of Jas. Cargill" (no first name).
↑ Many trees and Find A Grave claim her maiden name was Shaw, but I could find no evidence for this. I could not find her death certificate.--DataAnalyst 16:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
