      You can look on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for the marriage. It's pay per view though.

        There are no Shaw/Harrison marriages in the pre 1855 OPRs.
        Also none that fit in the statutory records from 1855. Perhaps they married in the US?
        Perhaps we should go back a step - why are you thinking that Isabella Harrison's mum was a Shaw?
        I know there is a good IGI for a Jane Shaw b c 1823 (as per census) that matches who you suggest.
        I wonder if we should try to trace the one on IGI to see when she disappears from Scotland.

          John Shaw( father of Jane Brown Shaw) was believed born 1781@ Kelton a son of David Shaw & Jean Brown... have tried to find marriages in Scotland& USA with no luck and not knowing the Harrison christian name could not find birth(Scotland)or death(USA) as well as birth details of Isabella S (Shaw?) Harrison...hope this makes sense!!!

                There is a Jane Harrison, b abt 1827, died 19 May 1884 in Pennsylvania -indexed on Ancestry. It's supposed to be from a Philadelphia Death Certificate Index. That record should be available on familysearch, but I can't get it to pop up

                  Strange - it doesn't appear for me either, not on old search or new.

                    I looked for the entry in the death registry. Perhaps I found it. The surname might be Harrison - or anything else that starts out HA.

                    It seems to say she's born in Ireland.
