Hi Isabella no I do not have Isabella in my tree. I think my Anne Guthrie is related to Solomon Guthrie, I have no proof of this just a little bit of circumstantial evidence, so I have not listed it in my tree. The reasons I am hopeful of this is, Solomon married Elizabeth Drummond, they had a daughter called Anne Guthrie who married Alexander Brown. They had a son called William Brown, who is living with my John Sinclair and Ann Guthrie in 1841 in Kirkhouse Eastside. There are very few, four I think Anne Guthrie's born in Orkney, so I am hopeful that William Brown was living with his aunt My Anne Guthrie. But not being able to prove it.
