Hya Tom, thanks for your message. You are correct about Susan Alexander's parents and her brother David my great grandfather was born 1880 in Beath. Many of my relatives still live in Beath or Cowdenbeath as it is known.
Isabella married Joseph Martin 1908 and Joseph died 30th Jan 1957 in Dunfermline, his usual residence is given as 129 Perth Road Cowdenbeath, his wife was mentioned on the death cert but not down as deceased. Joseph's death was caused by a coronary thrombosis and the informant on the cert was his daughter Bessie Simpson Martin who was married to a Clark Nairn MacDonald.
Your Isabella was most probably related in some way to my Beveridges as they all descended in some way from Alexander Beveridge and Christian Morrice.
According to the 1901 Census William and Susan Beveridge were living at 15 Arthur place, Catherine was now married to Walter Thomson.
William Beveridge age 58 Male Head Married Birth Place Halbeath Occupation Coal Miner
Susan Beveridge age 55 Female Wife Married Birth Place Stirling
David Beveridge age 20 Male Son Un/Mar Birth Place Cowdenbeath Occupation Coal Miner
Isabella Beveridge age 18 Female Daug Un/Mar Birth Place Cowdenbeath Occupation Linen Weaver.
These are definitely my family, my granddad took me back three generations and gave me a good start (even though I didn't know it at the time) on the research of my family tree.
Isabella is still my bug bear so to speak. If they still lived in Cowdenbeath in 1957 then where did she go to? At present due to restrictions on SP I can't find any more family for them. I keep saying when I go up to Scotland to visit my relatives I am going to go to the registrars and check for any children they may have had.
Thanks for replying
Lex
