I live in the USA and am not skilled in searching British records.
So far as I can tell, my great-grandfather Alexander Mitchell, born 1n 1845 in Old Monkland in Lanarkshire, Scotland, had a grandmother named Elizabeth Izatt who was married to Francis Black, born 1780. Elizabeth and Francis married in 1813 in Dumferline, Scotland and had a daughter Elizabeth (or maybe Mary), born 1820, who was the mother of my great-grandfather Mitchell.
Elizabeth Black married my great-grandfather's father in 1840 in Old Monkland in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Her husband was also named Alexander Mitchell.
I find several Black-Izatt mariages in Internet records. I cannot put them in any family context.
At any rate,I am out of my depth in researching this line. Can anyone connect my Elizabeth Izatt to a set of parents?
The Izatt name seems very unusual and does not sound like my other Scots names.
