Right - Ancestry tree (only one) has her marrying William Monaghan Thornton (1817-1890) in 1844. Nothing for 1851 census, but in Preston, Lancashire in 1861

Parents not named, nor any siblings listed

Find My Past does not have an Isabella in 1861 in Preston *** EDIT - yes, transcribed as Shorton
They do have an Isabella Thornton in Preston in 1851 but husband is Peter and she was born London. 2 children, youngest possibly with mmn Capps

The tree goes on to have her remarrying in 1868 in Fraserburgh (William Thornton still alive) to a William Stephen and back in Preston by 1881 !!!!!!!!!!!

The information came from a member tree in Ancestry so can't confirm parents but Isabella did marry William Thornton

Where did you find the information you've posted?

Scotland's People are not showing an 1826-30 birth of that name in Fraserburgh in their OPR records

there is this marriage in Glasgow, but no births to match -

Have you found her on any census

You need Scotlands People website that isn't a subs site I,m afraid

Scottish bmds didn't start till 1855 so the birth wouldn't have been registered
