Worth looking at this death on Scotlandspeople? Hopefully it will give you Isabella's parents names.

1882 REID ISABELLA GIBB F 71 EASTWOOD /LANARK 562/00 0044

It will also say "married to" or "widow of" Robert so you can narrow the search years for Robert's death.

Not much help, I suspect this is her working as a servant in 1841.

Sorry Ancestry has stopped working - I was hoping that Christian would be easier to find on the 1841 census - hopefully living with her parents!

May be worth noting that Mary Comrie on the 1861 census is listed as the niece of the head of household.

As Robert and Isabella were alive after Statutory Registration began in 1855 you may find their deaths on Scotlandspeople. Hopefully the informant will have known the names of their parents and that should take you back another generation.
