(She is named as Isabella Malcolm.) |
Other Facts:
| Illegitimate (Father's name not recorded on
Birth Certificate) |
| Interestingly she was named as Isabella
Mercer Burgess, not Burgess Mercer, on the Marriage Certificate so whether she changed it round for some reason I don't know, but my
Gran's sister Isabella Mercer Burgess Bogie was named after her in
1892. |
| They may have met through Mercer family ties because in 1891 James Hepburn was a lodger at Rosie Street, Wemyss in the household of Stephen Peggie and his wife
Janet Mercer, Isabella's Aunt. The John Hepburn also living in the same house was
James's uncle. |
