Hi Janis Yes, Isabella has been a bit of a problem. Seems she may have been born in Carmichael but can't find anything about her or her parents. Assume they moved to Durham from Scotland - another interesting woman to chase up! Thanks for that info. I didn't have the information about Isabella's baptism - where did you find that please? Hadn't heard/seen Coxhoe called Cold Knuckles before - interesting! Thanks again Meegan
