Sorry I have only just seen the post. Hugh Mitchell and Ann Bell married couldn't find Will and Margaret. Isabella was from Brampton and Ann Bell I think were related somewhere. Reason being that Isabella was only 17 when she left Cumberland and John Evans who was a lot older. Isabella married John Evan's in London and their first son was christened in Brighton. The 55th foot headquarters were in Carlisle and I think that is were they met. John and Isabella had children everywhere as she travelled with him his last posting was to Ireland and that is were my great great grandmother was born really good no record of Elizabeth. When they left Ireland after the company was disbanded he settled in Liverpool and returned to being a shoemaker. Isabella actually made it onto the 1851 census and her son John was still at home at the time.
