Isabella Reid Ure (9 September 1860 - 10 February 1888) was a Scottish painter. She was a very early member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists and may have been one of its founders. Her presence in the society would have been very beneficial, giving the new organisation much needed publicity; as she was the daughter of the current Lord Provost of Glasgow at the time of its founding in 1882.

Life

Her father was John Ure (c. 1825 - 1 August 1901) from Glasgow, a flour miller who became the Lord Provost of Glasgow in 1880. It was during his Provostship that the foundation stone of the municipal buildings in George Square was laid.

Her mother was Isabella Gibb (c. 1829 - 15 February 1915) in Glasgow.

Isabella Reid Ure was born on 9 September 1860 in Glasgow, their only daughter.

She married Thomas Peacock (26 December 1861 - 28 April 1949) of Sadbury, Hammersmith, London on 9 September 1886. He was the youngest son of J. T. Peacock of Hammersmith. The marriage took place at Cairndhu House, Helensburgh at half past two in Thursday afternoon.

The wedding had 25 invited guests and it was noted that the couple's presents were numerous and costly. The couple went on honeymoon to the south of France.

1871 Glenfruin House, Girls Boarding School, Helensburgh
1881 Cairndhu House, Helensburgh.
