Peter Copland and Isabel Shand

[Forfarian]

There's a mention somewhere upthread of an Isabella Copland who died in Rathven in 1871, mother's maiden surname Barclay. This Isabella Copland was single and too young to be the wife of Peter C.

She is likely to be the one aged 68 in the 1861 census, who is a pauper domestic servant, unmarried, and not in the same household as the other Copelands listed.

FWIW there are three separate household on Page 26 of ED 7 with Copelands
(1) Isabella as above

(2) Elizabeth Copeland, 62, born Grange; George Smith, son-in-law, 27; Margaret Smith, daughter, 21, born Rathven; Isabella Copeland, daughter, 37, born Keith; Ellen Williamson, granddaughter, 10.

(3) Alexander Copeland, 23 and sister Ann Copeland, 26, born Rathven and sister Janet Copeland, 17, born Grange; and two servants.

On the previous page, but same street, is

(4) Elizabeth Copeland, 32; daughter Elizabeth McIntosh, 4.
