Biography

Scottish flag
Isabella (Crane) Burnside was born in Scotland.

Isabella Crane was born in the parish of Milton on 11 September 1867 and was the eldest daughter of James Crane and Isabella Howat.[1][2]


On the 1871 census, Isabella, aged 3 years, is living at 195 Garscube Road, Milton, with her parents and is currently their only surviving child. A sister, Mary, was born in 1869 but died in infancy. A brother, Philip, was born a month before the census was taken but he died within a few days of being born.[3]

On the 1881 census, Isabella aged 14 years, is living with her widowed father at 11 Towers Street, Glasgow Kinning Park, along with her sister, Annie, aged 9 years. Their mother died of tuberculosis in 1878 so their grandmother, Mary (Moore) Crane, is living with them.[4]

Isabella married Walter Burnside in the parish of Falkirk on 25 June 1886 and they had seven children. The marriage record shows Walter, a tinplate worker, was 25 years and Isabella, a domestic servant, was 20 years.[5]

On the 1891 census, Walter, an iron worker, and Isabella are living at 138 Hawthorne St, Glasgow, with their oldest two children: Isabella (4 years) and William (1 year). Isabella's maternal grandmother, Isabella Crawford is living with them although she is described as "mother-in-law" rather than grandmother. Isabella's uncle, William Howat, is also living with them.[6]

On the 1901 census, Walter, a tinplate covermaker, and Isabella are living at 38 Bankside, Falkirk, with their children: Isabella (13 years), William (11 years), James (8 years), Walter (5 years) and John (2 years). Isabella's father, James, is living with them.[7]

On the 1911 census, Walter, a labourer, and Isabella are living at 4 Muirhead Buildings, Bainsford, Falkirk, with their children: William (20 years), James (18 years), Walter (15 years), John (12 years), Agnes (9 years) and Robert (6 years). They also have two young visitors, Grace Burnside, aged 4 years, and John Burnside, aged 2 years. The eldest son, William, is an apprentice smith, while the second son, James, is an iron moulder and Walter is an apprentice copper smith.[8]

Four of Walter and Isabella's sons fought in the First World War and their son, James, was killed in action at Ypres on 10 May 1915. James served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial.[9] The Second World War would claim the life of their grandson, Walter Burnside (son of John), who died in a flying accident on 29 June 1942, aged 19 years. He was a sergeant pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force and based in England.[10]

On the 1921 census, Walter, a foundry labourer, and Isabella are living at 13 Granary Square, Grahamston, with their sons: John (22 years) and Robert (16 years). John is a labourer, while Robert is a moulder.[11]

Isabella Crane died of pernicious anaemia, aged 87 years, on 19 July 1955. The death record confirms she was the widow of Walter Burnside and lived at 13 Main St, Bainsford, where she died. The informant was her son, Walter Burnside who was living at 19 Mary St, Falkirk.[12]
