Dear Katie
Have you had any luck with this search? From the information you give, it might suggest that Isabella was born say between 1885 and 1900. Have you looked on Scotland's People (SP) for her? If her son was born in 1920, was she married to someone else at the time? You might be able to search for that marriage. I had a quick search for births of Isabella Cockburn in Edinburgh and 5 show up, so worth checking them out.
Her parents marriage should also fall within the time-frame of Statutory records, so you might be able to find them on-line at SP. I've had a quick look and searching for a marriage of Thomas Cockburn to Lydia Frier brings up ONE entry - fair chance it's your one. My credits have expired, so it might be worth having a look yourself, if you've not already done this. The entry should give you both of their parents as well if you've not got them.
You should check out elsewhere on the TS site to find out about the availability of records on-line at SP. I noticed a post elsewhere advising people about more recent searching. If I can find the link, I'll come back and post it here for you. You won't find births after 1905 on the SP site, but you can either arrange to visit NRH or perhaps if you can provide as much information as possible a researcher may be able to look it up for you.
Do you know which regiment her husband was in? You might be able to trace them that way.
Cheers.
