There is a Sarah A Kelly listed for Gateshead, but she is listed as being 72 years old. The age could well be wrongly transcribed though.

Sarah A Kelly Gateshead December quarter 1927 10a 905

She may not , of course , have died.

Maybe she ran away and your gran was brought up believing she died?

As Dianne says Gateshead is only a river widths away from Newcastle. Perhaps if she died in hospital that was where the hospital was located.
