Searching for information about the parents and siblings of -

Isabella Bowie born at crossmyloof ,Renfrew, Scotland -

She  later married - Archibald James Smith Wright at High Church, Glasgow, Lanark on 17 Sep 1858.

The 1881 census states that Isabella and Archibald Wright and their 7 children were living in Glasgow- and confirms her age and place of birth .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards - Luc.

Isabella died in 1904, aged 58. Her parents, on death, were listed as William Bowie and Maggie May (not the Rod Stewart one, surely?  ).

And the family in 1851. Not sure if father William has died by now, you would have to check the original image for mother Margaret's marital status:

Margaret Bowie    54, head, Glasgow
John Bowie    20
Alexander Bowie 18
Robert Bowie    15
Isabella Bowie    13
William Bowie    2, grandson, b. Glasgow

Address: 1 Bellfield Street, Glagow

Isabella and siblings showing as born in Cathcart, Renfrewshire.

Regards.

Both William and Margaret are listed as alive in 1858 (per the marriage). There's a 1871 death on SP for Margaret Bowie, other surname May.
