So it does look as if the death you were presumably looking at would be her:


Name: Hannah Billington
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1824
Year of Registration: 1889
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 65
District: Preston
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 451


No remarriage in evidence! What was the confusion?
