Mmmm...not good to see it in both certs  :-\ Confusing.

Monica,

Could possibly have been an extramarital affair?

It is an odd one, don't you think Annie?

She is obviously the correct Bella. She wrote to family in 1946, the year she died and her address as we know matches what Isobel found on her death reg. Why give the wrong details for her parents?  She shows at home in the 1911 census. Whilst we don't know what happened after 1911 up to 1924 when she married in Scotland, she was certainly old enough to remember her parents (mother at least) and she kept in touch with family going by that 1946 letter.

Skirl,

Not sure if I missed this whilst reading....

Do you have Isabella's birth to be sure of her parents?

The birth & baptismal records have the correct parents: Charles Moore & Margaret Robinson Moore
