    • BIOGRAPHY

      Isabella Brough was born in 1837 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, the youngest daughter of William Brough and Christian Drummond. William was a farmer and miller in Comrie. Isabella married Alexander Walker who was employed by her father in 1858, then migrated to Melbourne, Australia (1858), with a daughter (Christina) born on the voyage. Christina died soon after the family arrived in Melbourne and their second daughter was born in Melbourne the next year. In 1861 the family mirgrated to Otago, New Zealand (1861) in hope of finding gold, but instead settled in Milton where Alexander obtained work as a miller. Isabella had six more children while living in Milton. She died in 1914 aged 75 and was buried in the Fairfax Cemetery at Milton.
