Isabella died shortly after her daughter Jill was born. Her brother, my father-in-law, told us she just had a complete breakdown but I know no more. I surmise it was post natal depression made worse by the death of her husband. My father-in-law Frederick J Kershaw was bought up by his maternal grandmother Isabella Hraham and he was proud of his Graham roots. He mentioned Scottish links.
There has been some contact with the Hope family members over the years and I am hoping my sister-in-law will be able to fill in a bit more info.
