Hello Denise
Oh my how I hope this will help you. My own grgrandmother was born in Patna in 1869. (I wonder if they knew each other
) Actually the birthplace of mine is recorded as Dalrymple but I know they were living in the miner's rows above Patna.
I'm betting that your Isabella was not born in 1866 but perhaps a bit later...but the IGI records show a different surname for what I believe to be her mother!!

If it is them then perhaps both Andrew and Catherine were dead by then.
A lot of speculation but perhaps some clues that you could search out!!
Hope it is helpful
Best wishes
