Hi Cathy
I used the free search on SP and looked for isa m*cwilliam* born 5years either side of 1845, died after 1911 and there seem to be 9 matches. I can't look at them just now as I have no credits. None of them seemed to have died in Lanark, so they may not be relevant at all, but I just thought they might be worth a look, if you haven't already done so, just incase any of them jump out at you!

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Cathy

Just so you don't waste anymore credits....I really don't think she's there :shock: Which is awfully odd since the kids all stuck around Rutherglen. At least you know she was dead by 1951 from her two daughters DC! :lol: If she is hiding under a mystery indexing it has me baffled. But then in my own research I have a death I can't find and it reminds of this situation so much. I can account for all the kids and I have the time frame narrowed up. I've tried all the wildcards in the deck....and still...... nada :!: Soooooo maybe my Helen and your Isabella are together somewhere! :D

Sorry....and best wishes!
Jean

Many thanks to you both for trying. I know if it can't be found by someone on this site, then it just can't be found.
