Can I ask softly softly why you think that Ann Isabella/Isabella is a sister to David Cummings son of Bernard Cummings and Ann McCallum.  I am at a loss as to where to look next with regards to finding what happened to her and the missing 20 years of my grandmother Georgina Cummings life.

My grandmother’s (Georgina born 1891) first marriage certificate in 1912 states her mother as Ann Isabella Cummings.  Her first husband Matthew Aitken was a casualty of the First World War.
Her second marriage certificate in 1918 (when she married my grandfather William Bain) states her mother as Isabella Cummings (deceased).

She was born in 1891 in Shotts.

Sorry I have been on for so long.
My father James Daniel and his twin brother William were born in Edinburgh.  The only explanation I have for there being two birth entries is that their father Elijah was working in Glasgow at the time whilst their mother was at home.
It certainly seems as if we may be distant relatives.
Can I ask what your mother’s name was and who her parents’ were?

My grandmother is the Janet Fawcett mentioned in an earlier post born in 1901.  Her mother was the Janet Fosset who was born in 1882 and died in 1956 and married William McArthur.  My grandmother married Elijah Davies in 1928 - he died in 1945.  They had 3 children James Daniel Davies (my father), his twin brother William John McArthur Davies and Janet Davies.  My grandmother re-married and her name was then Janet Hamilton.  She died in 1973.
