Also from SP,
she married 1872 in Towie, Aberdeen.
I've not downloaded the full record of this.
-
I've gone back over
1841 1851 census but can't find her anywhere under either Cobb or Glennie.
Maybe someone else will have more luck.
I've not looked beyond 1871 census as she was married 1872.

Hi Dave,
I take it you mean 1851 census, as she was born 1849. :) This looks like her with her Cobb grandparents - seems likely that Alexander did accept paternity of her.

William Cobb, head, mar., 56, farmer of 14 acres, b. Angus (no parish name given)
Jean Cobb, wife, mar., 53, -, b. Towie
Jean Cobb, dau., unm., 13 scholar, b. Towie
Mary Cobb, dau., unm., 11, scholar, b. Towie

William Cobb, 45, carrier, b. outside county
Jean Cobb, 40, -, b. in county
John Cobb, 14, -, b. in county
Ann Cobb, 8, -, b. in county
Margaret Cobb, 5, -, b. in county

Mary Cobb, 2, -, b. in county
There's also a likely entry in 1841 for an Alexr. Cobb, aged 11, serving at East Kinclune in Towie.

To Dave and Hume,
Thanks for your time and expertise.
I have also fallen for the name variant trap - again. Thanks Hume.
All information gratefully received. Digger88.

Hi Digger88, I am also researching the Cobb family. Alexander, Isabella's father (mother Margaret Glennie) is the brother to William who I come down from. Have got Isabella on census for 1851,61,71, married on the 1881. 91 and 1901. Also have marriage and death certs. Will share any other in fo with you.
