Isabella Cummings
« on: Tuesday 22 August 23 14:26 BST (UK) »
I am looking to find my maternal great grandmother Isabella Cummings.  I believe she was born in or around Edinburgh in 1865/66.
My grandmother was Georgina Cummings married to Matthew Aitken until his death in 1917.
She then married my grandfather William Bain in 1918.
Does anyone out there know of her.

Welcome to Rootschat

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the website to use for Scottish BMD’s.  It’s pay per view

It looks like Cummings was her married name - what was her maiden name?

Georgina & Matthew married 1912.  If you download a copy of their marriage cert it will give you Isabella’s maiden name plus her husbands name

My understanding is that Cummings was her maiden name s my grandmother’s birth is registered as her being illegitimate.
