William and Helen Isdale, Scotland to Massachusetts

Classification: Query
Surnames: Stalker, Stocker, Isdale, Reid, Sime
My grandparents' family album contains numerous pictures of two older ladies named "Aunt Minnie Reid" and "Aunt Bessie Isdale." I think I have them identified as Elizabeth Moodie Isdale and Wilhelmina Isdale Reid, sisters born to Helen or Ellen Stalker Isdale and William Gentle Isdale in Tillicoultry, Scotland, in the 1870s.

Helen/Ellen, Minnie, and Elizabeth (known as Bessie) emigrated to America between 1906 and 1908. Bessie was still alive in 1948.

I am not trying to figure out their relationship to my family. My great-grandmother was Jennie Schoular Sime, also born in Tillicoultry, Scotland, in 1844. According to her death certificate, her mother's name was Ellen Stocker.

Jennie Schoular Sime named her youngest son Chester Isdale Sime. He was my grandfather.

Anyone having any information about this family, please get in touch
