1881 Census: 62 Hutcheon Street, Aberdeen
Isabella WRIGHT   Head Wid   51    Skene, Aberdeen, Scotland
Margaret WRIGHT   Dau U   17    Flax Weaver Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
Isabella WRIGHT   Dau U   15    Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland

These look like the daughters of William Wright and Isabella Ogg: Mary Ann Jane, born 30 July 1863; Isabella, born 8 December 1865. William Wright and Isabella Ogg were married in Aberdeen St Nicholas on 12 April 1862.

Isabella Ogg or Wright died in Aberdeen St Nicholas in 1881 aged 49.

Hello

Unfortunately it looks like Isabella Ogg is not Isabella Hogg. Isabella Ogg's marriage cert. has her parents as John Ogg and Margaret Sim, whereas from the 1851 census we have Isabella Hogg's parents as Robert Hogg and Margaret Unknown, so this requires a re-think. Regards

Possible entry for Isabella Hogg in 1841 census (parents would match the marriage record for Isabella Ogg, she is the right age, though no mention of brother Robert who appears in 1851 census)

Isobel Hogg, daughter of John Hogg and Margaret Sim, was baptised in Skene on 26 August 1830.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

What do you think of the below entry which I think is for Elizabeth Hogg/Ogg and William Wright in 1871. There is an Eliza Hendry step daughter born 1864 listed, presumably the implication is she is Isabella's daughter and in 1861, when Isabella (unmarried) is living with her mother Margaret Elizabeth Henry age 7 grandaughter is mentioned. Therefore, it looks like Isabella had another illegitimate child??

Yes, that looks like the right entry, and yes, I think it is very likely that Elizabeth Henry is another illegitimate child. I noticed the 7-year-old Elizabeth Henry in the 1861 census, and there is a baptism of Elizabeth Leslie Henry, daughter of Andrew Henry and Isabella Hogg, in Echt in 1854.
