Research Notes

MARRIAGE: Scotlandspeople Statutory Registers - Marriages has 19 hits in all Scotland, all in Aberdeenshire using: Mutch, Is*bel*, 1871-1895.

• Isabella would have been 16 in 1871; 40 in 1895.
• Ancestry.com has 15 family trees for Isabella, none show a marriage.
• FamilySearch has her married to Alexander Godsman in 1886, although he would have been about 9 years younger. They then emigrated to USA. That family tree doesn't indicate when she emigrated other than the date shown upon their US 1900 census, which would suggest 1887. That census record also indicates he was born about 1865 and Isabella born in October 1862 rather than October 1855. For those reasons I have left Isabella's marriage, death and children as UNCERTAIN.

DEATH: Scotlandspeople Statutory Registers - Deaths has 2 hits in all Scotland, both in Aberdeenshire using: Mutch, Is*bel*, mother's maiden name Jam*son or blank, 1855-1955, year of birth 1855 +/-3.

• Both hits would suggest a birth year about 1853 rather than 1855.
