Title: Help to locate Isabella McPherson!
Post by: BGPostie on Monday 03 September 07 18:41 BST (UK)

I am looking for information on Isabella McPherson.
 
She was born 14 Dec 1872, in Elgin Moray Scotland.  I have found her in the 1881 and 1891 census as living in Keith Banffshire, but am unable to find any records after that. 

Her parents are David and Jane (McIntosh) McPherson. David - 1846 to 1926; Jane - 1843 to 1910 are buried in Broomhill Cemetery.

Her siblings are as follows:
     Jane Ann (McPherson) Lovie - b. 1871
     James McPherson - 1874 - 1922 (emigrated to Canada)
     David G McPherson - 1878 (emigrated to Canada)
     John McPherson - 1881 (emigrated to Canada)
     Margaret J (McPherson) Jones - 1883 - 1954
     William E McPherson - 1887 - 1915

Any help in finding information on Isabella and if she married would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Joe:

That is probably my Isabella.  When I tried to find her through The Ancestry web site, I couldn't.  But when I tried Henry Lamont's name, I located the record. On it the spelling of Isabella's name was "Isbella McPheron".  I haven't found  a record for any other Isabella in the 1901 census born in 1872. in Elgin.

I would really like to find out if she ever married.
