Hi checked back from the Berwick birth for Isabella Hood and her parents Jane Ann Low and John Hood looking at poss birth of Jane ann Low there is the mention of Hunt, hope I have not got mixed up either John Hood or Jane Ann Low.

My gut feeling is that the Perthshire Isabella is more likely than either the Berwickshire or Edinburgh one.

What were the names (and father's occupation) given on Mary Hay Hood maiden name Mitchell's death certificate.

Just wondering if it is possible to tie in family names for David and Isabella's children?

Just looked at her death notice which says she died 25 July 1907 aged 81 years, 11 months and 20 days.

That would make her dob 05 August 1825 ? Although the tree on Ancestry gives it as 05 August 1826.

The other thing that you need to remember is that pre 1855, you are looking at christening records and not all children were christened. I think too that the OPRs are Church of Scotland records and if her parents weren't CoS then she may have been christened in another church.

Welcome to the boards Sandra.

You're replying to a 4 year old thread, so Brian who posted the original question is probably not looking for replies now.

You could try clicking on his name, which will give you the opportunity to send him a personal message - if he still has the same email address as when he registered with GR then they will notify him there is a message for him in the system.

You then have to hope that he sees it and is able to respond.
