Have you found a birth record for Isabella - I've not found one with those parents so far and I don't want to exhaust my resources 
I've been searching on M*gr*g*r and just Is 1890-1995.
Nothing on the 1901 that looks promising for her either.
Something very strange.
I'll have to take a break from this - boring chores must be done.
Will investigate further.
It might be worth trying to find a death for Isabella and also follow up Janet McGregor (witness at her marriage).
I think we have to start from Isabella and get her placed and then work backwards from there.

There's an interesting family on the 1901:
139 High Streeet, Auchterarder 329 ED 7 page 2
David Clark, 64
Isabella, 53
(others) and grandchildren:
McGregor
Alexander, 11, b. Grahamstown, Stirlingshire
Isabella, 7, b. Glasgow
Janet, 5, b. Glasgow
Anguss, 3, b. Glasgow
It's a large entry so worth you considering it.
I'll check up on these births and get back

Isobella Louden (other name McGregor) died in Dunoon in 1978, aged 84. You'll have to order the cert via SP - not downloadable.

Angus married Mary Ann Seath in 1889 and gave his father as Angus and his mother as Janet Stewart.
When he died in 1926 in Auchterarder the certificate as witnessed by his daughter Isabella Louden says his father was Alexander and mother was again Janet Stewart.This couple married in 1861 in Fowlis Wester and appear with their son Angus in the 1871 census. Alexander was born in Fowlis Wester circa 1842.
It doesn't appear that any of these are linked to the Aberfeldy McGregors so I guess they weren't my ancestors' neighbours after all  .

So if you agree with me, Cambron, I'll start looking for the Alexander and Janet now

If you follow through with the McGregors of Fowlis Wester you will see they come up as McRosties-not one of the recognised septs of the McGregors.
I wonder what the story was

McRostie is a new one on me 
I'll go investigate all this later. it's getting chore time and I'm in the dark (must switch on the light 
This is a good example of why one should always work back carefully through all the available documents .

Yes - he's Alexander and his father was Duncan. Here they are in 1841:
1841
Blairmore Cottage, Fowlis Wester 357 - ED 3 Page 6
McGregor
Duncan, 25, tailor
Betsey, 25
Alexr, 2
James, 6 months
Duncan b. Scotland, others b. Perthshire
Note that on the 1841 ages of those over 15 were usually rounded down into 5 year age groups so that 25 could be anything between 25 and 29
