Life Events

BirthIsabella Eadie was born between 1787 and 1791 in Perthshire.3
 
Research Note What are Isabella's origins? There is a birth entry for Isabel, daughter of Donald Eadie, a tenant farmer, & Jean Faichney at Beny in Muthill parish; the parish records are spotty about this time so it's hard to be sure this is the only Isabella in the area. Unfortunately she died before the 1851 census, which would have given her parish of birth and before civil registration began in 1855, which would have recorded her parents' names. If a marriage record can be found, that might give a few more details about her.

There was also an Isabella Eadie, daughter of James Eadie, a merchant, & Mary Finlayson, baptised in Dunblane in 1792. I have not yet researched this family.

Isabella who married John Kinross named her first daughter Jean which adds weight to Jean Faichney being her mother. 
MarriageShe married John Kinross, son of John Kinross and Helen Dawson.2

The names are from 3 generations: John Kinross & Helen Dawson, John Kinross & Isabella Eadie, & John Kinross and Elizabeth Graham Stirling.5
