Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1911, Lumphanan, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Notes:

After her illegitimate son George Smith Cockie was born in 1884, Isabella married Charles Esson but they had no children together.
This appears to be his death notice:
Aberdeen Press and Journal 17 February 1947, p3:
Esson.-At Inchmarnoch Schoolhouse, Dinnet, on Feb 14, Charles Esson, in his 82nd year. Funeral service in Stothert Memorial Church, Lumphanan, on Mon., Feb 17 at 2pm.
It seems that both Isabella and Charles died around this same time because their is a notice in the Aberdeen Press and Journal 27 February 1947, p3 which reads thus:
ESSON.-Miss Esson wishes to convey her sincere thanks to all relatives and friends and neighbours for the many kind expressions of sympathy extended to her in her recent sad double bereavement.-Inchmarnoch Schoolhouse, Dinnet.
At a guess, this must be Charles Esson's niece Evelyn who was staying with the family on the 1911 census. Can't find any information about Evelyn Esson, not even her birth, so she may have been 'adopted' by Charles and Isabella anbd raised as their own.
