Have been unable to find any record of the marriage of Isabella and Henry Cowe, in either English or Scottish records. In the Scottish Church Records at the LDS, a marriage is noted of Isabella Murray on 23 Oct 1854 at Greenlaw, Berwickshire. No groom is named, and this was 10 months after the birth of Ella, so may have no significance. It is recprded as an "Irregular Marriage" No groom is named, no residence, no clear date. "Marrried in Session by Mr Makem (?) 5s.0d paid. (The 5/- was probably the fine to be paid at a Kirk Session for having been improperly married, so it is possible she was married before this date of 23 october 1854.)
