Hello Babbie,

That's odd-- on FamilySearch.org there is a birth record for such a person, right parents, born Lasswade, etc., but on 20 Feb 1793, not 1873!! Is that the one you meant? Finding a marriage in the early 19th century is quite different than finding one 100 years later, so we need to be clear on the time frame.

All the best,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Apologies yes she was born in 1793 that's what I get for trying to do two things at once-----

watch golf on the tv and do my family research,

I tried to find her on the census with little success - but it would seem quite possible that they would be there until 1841. A search on SP for a death gives only one with both names but the age is about 10 years out from your isobel.

The OPR for the marriage may (only may) have the father's occupation - which may help determine if it is the right marriage.

I downloaded the marriage from Scot. Peo. it states that George was a manservant from London S6 and Isabella was a maidservant of King Street daughter of the

late Thomas Denholm. I am wondering if they perhaps headed south if he was from London.It does let me know that my 4 x great grandfather had died pre 1821


Thank you once again.
