Isabelle Murray was the daughter of Maj.-Gen. John Murray. She married John Minet Laurie, son of John Minet Fector and Anne Wortley Montagu Laurie, in 1841, and her married name became Laurie. There is a watercolour in the British Museum by Lord Henry Scott which was a gift of gratitude from the artist to Mrs Isabelle Laurie, who together with her husband nursed Lord Henry back to health on their dahabeah on the Nile when he became ill in Egypt.
