Easy to find the 7 brothers on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk plus 3 sisters !

You missed out Alexander, Thomas and James.

The family is easy to find on the 1901 census as long as you use CO*BURN for the surname, as either the enumerator or indexer didn't know their "h" from their "k" ..............

Wee George didnae make it to 1901, having died at the age of 8 months of whooping cough induced convulsions...........

Katie

Try Isabella instead of Isabelle

In fact, on SP, best to search on the basis of "Isabel" with the "return all forenames etc........" box ticked, so the search engine looks for Isabel* .
