Isabella Iley m. Thomas Hardy in Sharon PA 1872

Surnames: ILEY, HARDY, BLAIN
My g-g-grandmother's maiden name was Isabella Iley. The only document with her name is so smudged, I worry this may be incorrect, so am looking for information on her family. She was born in England 'about 1854', given her age on the 1880 US census. She is shown living in Grundy County IL with my g-g-grandfather Thomas Blain Hardy. Their first child, Elizabeth Ann, was born in OH in 1874. They were married in Sharon, Mercer County PA on Feb 23, 1872. Isabella is deceased by the 1900 census, as Thomas is shown to be a widower living with his son Thomas. My g-grandfather, William Blain Hardy, was born in 1877. I can't find her death on the IL death database for pre-1916, and can find no Isabella Iley on free BMD due to their being little info shown as to parents or occupation. Thomas and his sons were all coal miners. I would like to find out who her parents and other family were, where she was from, when she immigrated (Thomas came in 1865). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
