Trying to find Boyes

Hi I am trying to find more information about Isabella Boyes who was my 2 x great grandmother. Census information indicates she was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire about 1811 and died 30 January 1870. Her father was Thomas Boyes and she married Thomas Elders in Scarborough on 3 December 1843, they had 3 children Rebecca, Elijah and Thomas. Thomas married Ellen Cawood and died aged 22. Elijah seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth between 1871 and 1881 but I have been unable to find his death in English records. Rebecca who was my great grandmother married John Dunwell 31 January 1866 in Scarborough but by 1872 the Dunwell family were living in Leeds. If anyone has any info about any of these people I would be most grateful to hear it. Sheila Bayley
