Antrim / Re: Isobel Macartney

If it is any help, an Isabella Macartney was born to Matthew and Ann Macartney of Cromkill around 1898. This is the family in the census record above. Your Isobel could be a daughter or niece of this one. It is very common in this family for members to be named after an aunt or uncle. Matthew did have a son Matthew who was born around 1892. Perhaps he was married to Margaret Jane? Incidentally, if her maiden name is Hanna, one of Matthew's sisters married a Hanna. Again, not uncommon in those days when travel was limited. Thanks.
