Do you know if she married ?

Scotlandspeople - which is a pay to view - would give you the info

Limits as to what can be viewed online. Not births within the last 100 years, marriages 75 years and deaths 50 years

There are several family trees that she appears in on Ancestry including one that looks like one of her nieces (a Thompson) where I found the following info from. Her granddaughter also has a tree.

1892
Birth
Glasgow, Lanarkshire 1 source citation Hide source citations 1901 Scotland Census 1901

Age: 9 Residence
Glasgow St George, Lanarkshire, Scotland 20 BROWN ST BLYTHSWOOD GLASGOW1 source citation Hide source citations 1901 Scotland Census

1911

Age: 19 Census
12 PORTUGAL ST GORBALS GLASGOW
She had 4 brothers and 3 sisters

1984

Age: 92 Death
Glasgow

There are also two photos - one of her son and his wife and one of their gravestone in Cathcart Cemetry in Glasgow. At the bottom is Isabella and it says her date of death is 15 Sept 1984.

There's quite a lot on these trees in ancestry and you'd be able to contact them through the site.

Obviously if you're not signed up you could take advanctage of their free trial

about Isabella Fenton alone, on a very quick count. (Not really complete; just search by putting Fenton in the search box at the top of this thread ... and that's just one of the several surnames our Christine / Abbey / Pooh / Sunshine has harassed members with over the last year or so.)

Now if anybody wants to count the times this individual has been given various advice over and over and over, and had the same searches done for her over and over and over, by well-meaning innocent other members of this website ...

I hope anyone newly trapped into her game takes note of her name and number this time around.
