Scotlandspeople have a birth in 1920 in Banff for Isabella Haig Stevenson. The only matching marriage seems to be in 1947 in Elgin to a John Alexander Mitchell or Smith. Can't see a death. You would need to apply for the birth and marriage certs as both fall out with the ranges viewable on SP. Alternatively someone visiting the record office might be willing to do a look up for you. Have you viewed the 1938 birth certificate - does it name John Duncan as his father and give a date and place of marriage for Isabella and John?

Hi and welcome to Rotschat from me also as Isobelw has said you would need to order certificate's to see what it says ..Like Isobel said  that is the only marriage I can see also on Scotlands People

Hi Bellaode, and welcome to RootsChat.

Unfortunately I have had to remove your father's name in accordance with RootsChat's privacy policy as per the note above in blue.

I assume that his parents are deceased, but can you confirm this, please?

I can confirm that Isabella Haig Stevenson passed away on the 17th of November 2001 in Warrnambool Australia and yes she did marry John Mitchell who also passed away in 1986 also in Warrnambool Australia
I have no idea on the status of John Duncan as he is only named on my father's birth certificate as coming from Backhill Parish of Banff (farm servant).

Thank you for your help

I also know that Isabella Haig Stevenson's mother is Margaret Ann Stevenson and she died in 1937 and is buried at Myres Cemetery McDuff, so if anyone can enlighten me more on her past I would be grateful.  Thanks

A Margaret Stevenson other name Barron died in MacDuff in 1937 age 40. Her certificate is available to view for a small fee on Scotlandspeople ( pay to view - £7.00 buys access to 5 certificates). The certificate should give her parents names and also that of her husband. Can't immediately see a Stevenson/Barron marriage.

Thanks Isobelw that is the information that we have, I have written to a cousin of Isabella Haig Stevenson but I am just waiting on her reply from Scotland to down here in Australia.  Hopefully she will have some information re my father's father John Duncan.
