Frank would love to check her kit vs mine and look for anyone that maybe common to both.
We may have a small match as sometimes you don't inherit as much from one parent or grandparent as the other.
My test was with FTDNA, and I am also on Gedmatch.

Thank You All for the help.

Ann,
The 3 that you posted:
the first one married in 1836, would be to early for marriage
putting them at about 16 & 14 yrs old.
But the parish is a perfect match

The marriage in 1842 is more interesting, however their first child
was born in 1851 in PEI, Canada. I also believe they were in PEI, Canada at that time.
However I will keep a copy and Thank You for your efforts.
Let me know if anyone needs any help, will try to return the favor.

You can also get a copy of the cemetery transcripts @ http://peigs.ca/store/cemetery-transcripts/

I have a copy of this and will see if she is listed. Do you have any other information on her?
Parents, siblings or spouse?

Early settlers in this area were Scottish families who moved over from Tracadie and Irish immigrants who joined them later. A small log church was built at Waterside in 1804 and a second one a few years later near the water south of the present hall. A third church, constructed around 1830 and enlarged in the 1850s, stood close to today's cemetery.

In 1868, the present brick rectory was built, replacing an older one of age unknown. Since 1845, the parish has had a resident pastor.

In 1877 began the erection of the present magnificent brick church. It was consecrated by Bishop MacIntyre two years later, with Bishop Walsh of London giving the sermon. In 1902, the majestic pipe organ was installed.
