Yes. As you can see from the message I sent you, this Isabella Walker is
registered at 3 Claypath Hornsbys Yard, Durham St Nicholas, Durham, England
in the 1881 census. You will find other Scots at neighbouring houses in the
street.

If it is her...then her DOB was evidently around 1800 to 1801 if her age
is given
accurately.
Searching the IGIs for her in Scotland for 1801 and 1800 gives only 22
Isabellas,
Isobels, Isabels etc. Try it yourself to get the full list.
Hoping to get lucky by limiting it to only Isabellas (never a surefire thing
with this name in Scotland) we get....

Do the parents listed for these births and christenings match parents for
a Robert
Walker born or baptised in Scotland over whatever period you think
his birth may have occurred?
Just a thought. Maybe clutching at straws, but nothing ventured,nothing
gained.

In
January, 1825, my G/G/Grandparents were married in Denbigh. They had four
children baptised there between 1824 and 1831. This is where I lose them
until 1851in County Durham.

SKS please check for John Walker and Robert Walker, with a view to
finding out where in Scotland they were born. If I could ascertain this
information, it may lead me to finding out more about my James and Isabella
LOGAN (Walker).

ancestors back to Scotland, it might be worth having a look at
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk It's a pay to view site but has all available
Parish record to 1857 and then the civil registration. Official registration
was later in Scotland. There is some early census stuff on some Scottish
sites as well.
