A few months after Isa was born, Knox sold his pub in Garvagh and the family moved to Aghadowey where her Mother, Margaret's family lived. Then by 1897, the family moved to Belfast. Isa lived with the family until she married. In 1911, she was 17 and worked as a Packer of canned goods. On 11 August 1914, at age 20, Isa married George Cree Jamison in Belfast. They moved into 16 Harrisburg Street, Belfast.

In 1914, George was a Shipwright. George's parents were John Jamison, an Engineer and Captain of the Belfast Fire Brigade, and Elizabeth Crea, both born in Co Down, Ireland.
John and Lizzie Jamison had 9 children, one of whom died young. Isa and George moved to 63 Copperfield Street, Belfast by 1917 and had five children: John Douglas Jamison, born in Belfast in 1915, who's wife was Emily; Margaret Forgrave Jamison born in Belfast in 1917 who married William "Billy" Best; George Cree Jamison Jr., who was born in Belfast in 1920, who married Winnie; Isabella Jamison and Albert (Bertie) Jamison who both were both born in Belfast, but we do not know when.
