Relationship: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Carstairs, Lanark

Civil parish: Whitburn

Grace was a common diminutative form of Grizell / Grizella / Grizelda etc.

parents: Robert Wallace,? Isabel Mowat

I think that with accents Mowat probably became Mouait?

Can any one help with this querie.
Isabella Mouait Thomson b.c.1831 Scotland. She married a well to do gentleman called Joseph William Robinson b. 23 January 1827 Finsbury, Middlesex, England.
They married on the 2 December 1861 Knox Church, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Joseph died in 1884 Wanganui, NZ. He started the Volunteer Fire Brigade in Wanganui and was well known. (actually married 3 times)
Now Isabella was buried 13 November 1863 Southern Cemetery, Dunedin, New Zealand. In the same grave are 2 other females.
Catherine Thomson buried 1866, 17 years old.
Jessie Duncan buried 1909, 48 years.
Catherine's death notice say's she was the fifth daughter of Mrs James Thomson late of Linglithgowshire, 'Scotland.
What I have been trying to do is find out if it's possible that Catherine and Isabella are connected, sister's ?? Then who is the Jessie Duncan she died on the 26 Jan 1909 Melbourne, Australia. Could Jessie be a daughter of Isabella's, the age is about right, can't find any doc's proving anything.
Is there anyone who could possibly help.
