CITING THIS RECORD

You say she died "after 1953".

When did your father receive his share of her estate?

Could this possibly be her death? It's quite a while after 1953. If so, the death cert might provide clues as to her family.

Have you found her on any censuses?

I can't find an Isabella Hopper described as confectioner, or similar.

This one may be a possibility - unmarried. (Ancestry mistakenly includes a family called Storey in the record - but they're at a different address).:

Hi, I'm trying to trace Isabella Hopper, born about 1874 probably in Co. Durham or Northumberland, died after 1953. As far as I know she was unmarried and owned or part owned a sweet factory in possible North Shields. She died without leaving a will and her estate was divided between her direct family who included the Carr family from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, (previously Co Durham) My father and his siblings received a 1/360th share. Any help would be much appreciated.
