Tibbie is an old pet form of Isabel, so look for the same person under Isabel as well.
Tibbie is a Scottish pet form of Isabel. Charlotte Yonge called it one of the most common country names along the Scottish border.
The same woman can be Isabel in one record and Tibbie in the next, for example a birth under one name and a marriage under the other. Match age, place and relatives before you join the two.
