Isaac Burt was the son of Thomas Burke and Elizabeth Rhind born on 1st May 1821. He changed his surname to Burt sometime before he married Margaret Bryce in 1847. His eldest son Thomas Burt (bottom name on memorial stone) co-invented the Steam siren and ended up as one of the 'principles' of the of the Brassfounders Steven & Struthers of Kelvinside.
