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.

NORMAN WOODS <norwood38(a)btopenworld.com> wrote:Hello All,
I am trying (still) to unearth details of my Logan and Walker families. 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.
However, a kind couple. Doreen and John Hamilton from Canada found a John LOGAN in the
1841 Denbigh census. I am certain that he was a brother of my G/G/Grandfather.
I also know that Robert Walker,( who was a brother of Isabella WALKER, my
G/G/Grandmother) married Elizabeth Edwards in 1826 in Denbigh and had a son Robert, and
probably other children followed on.
Both John LOGAN and Robert WALKER were born in Scotland. Both were Tea Dealers.
I was wondering if the 1851 census for Denbigh is indexed, and if it is, could 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).
If the 1851 census for Denbigh is NOT indexed, could someone let me know.
Regards to the List, Norman Woods.

Hello Norman
Not sure about the 1851 being indexed (Doreen and John have done all their indexing
themselves and are wonderful), but if you are trying to trace 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.
