Isabelle Sheldon while researching her Grandmothers ancestry discovered that Isabel, shown previously as the first child of John and Isabella Urquhart, was in fact born to Isabella Urquhart before her marriage to family line J94.

She has shared the folowing details:

Isabella Urquhart born 1816 had a daughter, Isabella Geils born 1840 to Charles Gealls. Isabella Urquhart married John Mutch 14.7.1844 and died 17.1.1853. Isabella Geils had a daughter Isabella Cowie Giles in 1859. Father unknown. She married George Mutch Burnett in 1887 and had my grandmother Isabella Cowie Giles Burnett born 1898 and six other children.

We discussed how to show this best on the already complicated family tree of J94. But based on further information from Isabelle, it was decided best to remove daughter Isabella as a Mutch and add a note under the marriage of John and Isabel Urquhart:

Isabella had a daughter, Isabella Geils born 1840 in Strichen to Charles Gealls. According to the 1851 Census Isabella Geils lived with her Mother, Step Father and Step siblings. They did live as a family until her mother died in 1853. In the 1861 Census she is working as a House Servant at Cross Geight, New Deer and is called Isabella Geals, age 21, unmarried. On her Marriage Certificate on 15 August 1862, she is recorded as Isabella Geils, her father is Charles Gealls (Crofter) and her mother Isabella Mutch (nee Urquhart). Her daughter born 1859 is named Isabella Cowie Giles.
