The death certificate of 1869 of her daughter Helen or Eleanor recorded Helen's mother as deceased by then. Her mother's full name recorded in the death certificate was Isobel Simpson, but the baptismal record noted her mother's name as Helen Simpson. The baptismal records of Graham and Margaret Tait in Gladsmuir in 1806 and 1808 noted their mother's name as 'Isabella Simpson' and 'Bell Simpson' respectively. Their mother's marriage record noted her name as Isabel. 2
Isabel married John TAIT on 16 January 1796 in Edinburgh, Scotland. (John TAIT was born about 1770.)
