Looking for Isabella's family, had a sister Agnes, brother Thomas.  Her father had a barbers shop in the York Street area.
Photograph with Husband Joseph Silas Short & daughter Nellie who died in infancy. 
I believe Isabella had an Aunt who had a shop in Whitehead !
Thank you
Netta

Hello Netta,

I had a look at the 1912 Ulster Covenant but didn't find Isabella or her husband.

Hello Aghadowey,
Thank you for your info, wee problem, I have Isabella DOB 8/2/1883 deceased April 1952, will I change DOB on my tree.

Isabella told a white lie when she married in 1899 states she is 21yrs, I make her 16yrs would this marriage have been illegal if she had stated the truth  ???
Thank you
Netta  :D
