Isabella was an only child and sadly, her father passed away when she was 5. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIsabella and George Stoate were married 30 July 1859, in Carlisle, Northumberland. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGeorge was an Irishman, born in 1833, in Fethard, Tipperary, Ireland. He worked for the railway and provided a good income for his ever-growing family.  I find it interesting that Isabella, being an only child, had 8 children of her own. Although I know that smiling in a photo was Isabella looks tired to me.  After her third child she settled on one name (Annie Maria, Eda Jane, Joseph George, Hannah, John, Catherine, Mary and Isabella).  I would suspect that yelling out all those names just took too much time and brain power.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIsabella passed away at age 73 in March 1909, in Berwick Northumberland. George outlived her for another 13 years, and passed away in 1922 in Carlisle, Cumberland.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nI acquired Isabella’s sampler in Wales. How it got there intrigues me, as it is a good bit away from both Northumberland and Cumberland. I was very much enchanted with the pastoral scene, the big strawberries, her name, those very funky angles. When I received it, the frame had come apart, which was a good thing, as the sampler was beyond filthy, so I suspect it had spent a good amount of time in a barn or cellar. It smelled awful. It shall forever remain a secret as to what happened with the sampler after that, but I will say, this sweet sampler taught me a great deal in many areas.","brand":"Etsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45947603189933,"sku":"ET-1423186758","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/7703\/8765\/files\/il_fullxfull.4715653408_ftne.jpg?v=1777129908","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandneedleart.com\/products\/running-with-needles-scissors-isabella-lee-1845-counted-cross-stitch-pattern-nashville-market-2023-pattern-only","provider":"Kingsland Needle Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
