Biography: Isla Black, born January 24, 1853, was struck off the Black Family tapestry by the family patriarch at the young age of 19 for marrying Muggle Bob Hitchens. For the rest of her natural life, she never again spoke to her parents or siblings Sirius, Phineas and Elladora. She would come to befriend her nephew Phineas who likewise earned the ire of the family for marrying a Muggle-born witch, subsequently removed from the family tree.
By all accounts, Isla and Bob had a happy marriage if not an entirely truthful one. It not being advisable during the nineteenth century to admit to witchcraft, particularly to a religious family like the Hitchens, Isla reportedly never told her husband about her magical side opting instead to live as a Muggle. Given that her husband lived to the astonishing age of 87 this is somewhat in doubt.
Survived by multiple children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she was also widely admired for her contributions to the horticultural field, her prized gardens never known to be affected by disease, decay or the weather. She was thought to have a 'magic thumb'.
