Isabella/Mary Morrell

[sarah.negus84]

I am trying to find information on an Isabella/Mary MORRELL(b.around 1844)who married Robert BECK August 13,1866 in Weldford Parish,Kent Co.,New Brunswick. Isabella's place of birth in the 1871 census(one of the only sources I could find on her)is listed as PEI but according to PANB she is from Weldford,which leads me to believe either her parents or grandparents were actually Islanders. Isabella died in 1872 after the birth of the couple's youngest child,Elizabeth Louise(1872-1949)who married Edward WHEATON of Sackville in 1896. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this,because I could literally count on one hand the number of sources that contain info on Isabella.

Haven't come across anything so far.  Have you seen this old message board post - November 2012 ?

Could be once of those surnames with many variations

That was actually in response to a thread I created,so I'm kind of out of luck in that area.

LOL same author too-me. That was an older thread of mine.

If she was from PEI, there are only a couple of possibilities for her father -- Joshua or William, according to the 1841 PEI Census.  Have you searched through those families to see if you can fit her in somewhere?

You are likely aware of this group of Morrell researchers:

I have that thread favorited in my Ancestry account. But really,I'd like to find out for certain where Isabella was born before I can begin a trace of her parents. It's a tossup between New Brunswick and PEI,and even concerning NB it's either Kent or Northumberland counties.

All you can do is figure out all of the lines and see where she fits in.
