Isabella (BRYCE) WALKER

[Dficzeri]

   I've just joined and I am just starting to research my family from Scotland. At this point the only information that I have is that My GGG Grandmother Isabella Walker was born in November 1834. Her Mother's name was Isabella BRYCE, her father's first name was not listed on her death certificate here in the states. Her birthplace is listed as Glasgow on her death certificate. I'm looking for any information on this family. I also know from census records here in the US that Isabella and her mother came to the USA in 1854 and were naturalized here in 1859. I know the county is broke down into Parishes. I just have no idea where to begin the search. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You , Denise

Denise,

On the IGI (www.familysearch.org)there is a William Walker married Isbel Bryce on 2.12.1834. in Gorbals, Lanark.
If you are sure of the date of birth for Isabella Bryce Walker you could start by looking at the Scotlandspeople site (this is a pay site).
Hope this helps.

Re:- Cammy's info.    Although Gorbals is a district in Glasgow,  the parish is Lanark and you quite rightly suggest a search on Scotlandspeople,gov.co.uk

To verify previous post ,the web address is scotlandspeople.gov.co.uk    It costs zero to register but costs £6 per thirty views. copies of marriage birth and death certificates are available online post 1854.All census are also available
