The Church of St. Paul's Anglican has a birth of a son John to a John Barret & Ann Carver Jan 31 1802 Bapt. Aug.8 1802, then a James is born Nov 9 1803 to  James Barrett & Ann Carver bapt. Aug 5 1804. Probably a mistake?

I'm sure you've noted that the Bible Christian family of Barrets came over from England 1830-1832
   One of them was also a Benjamin who was in lot 24 1881 The listing in PEI families has also left out Charles.....  http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e325/e008113490.jpg

christenings before 1830, Carlton-Colville, Suffolk for a John Barret & Elizabeth Barret:
- Charles Barret Dec. 12 1812
- William Barret Oct 2 1815
- Sarah Hickleton Barret  christ.  Feb 10 1819
- Benjamin  Nov 10 1821
- Rebecca Barret christ.  July 6 1825
- Marianne Barett  christ. Feb 4 1828

As you'd said might be related...so am adding Rebecca as she's not been given proper surname in 1901
and it will help others searching for her in that census.

I am not sure where Isaac was born actually.  I got the Tolland, Cornwall from another person also trying to research this family.  I found a John Barrett and Elizabeth Heckleton who came to PEI on the ship "Preston" that left Yarmouth on May 4 1832 and arrived in Charlottetown on May 24 1832.  This family settled in Wheatley River, which is where my Isaac married.  John and Elizabeth would have been the right age to be his parents.  James Barrett who married Ann Carver would be the right age to be a brother to Isaac.  Now if I could only prove it.  I have considered that Isaac may have been born right in PEI.  All I have for him is a birth date of 1798, which came from The Island Register.  I found his death of 22 Aug 1830 in North River on the register of St. John's Anglican Church, Charlottetown.

John Barret & Elizabeth Hickleton ( I'll use this spelling as it was daughter Sarah's middle name so right now seems more likely) ....as they were having children around the time & before those of Isaac's, wouldn't he be more of a candidate to be a "brother" of Isaac's. Plus the ship in 1832 has no image to prove they've seen a ship's list. Both Rebecca & Benjamin say they came over 1830... Without seeing an actual list I'd be skeptical if anything wasn't a guess as either way they were young when they came over prior to 1841 census.

I just found a John Barrett christened Aug 17 1788 Carlton-Colville, Suffolk, England
Father James Barrett mother Ann. I am NOT saying this is he, especially as there are other births into the century for a Jame & Ann. Perhaps you can follow him through the census to prove he can "NOT" have moved away.
 I also cannot help but wonder if perhaps James ( or John) & Ann Carver might better fit in to this picture as being the parents of Isaac....they were baptising their children at St. Paul's Anglican.

William "Henry" Barret ( now have his full name) of lot 31 was baptising chilfren in St. John's Anglican
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01eab/ ( wife Mary Fitzroy/Frizell?)
William Henry doesn't appear to have been claimed on that site as a descendant so I do not know whose offpring he might be...Sadly he baptised in United church as an adult but did not state parents https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12690-26443-1?cc=1827217

John Barret & Catherine Senter ( or Sentiner) of Lot 49 were baptising aound the same time as Isaac
in St. Paul's  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12740-26625-64?cc=1827217
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12740-26171-57?cc=1827217
but later in the freechurch of Scotland

Who might this John Barret belong to, says was born Aug 28 1789, parents James & Ann baptising as an adult? https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12690-26453-9?cc=1827217

another Carver, Elizabeth ( Armstrong) ( lot 49) is a mother in St. Paul's church baptism. The name seems not to be prevalent in PEI https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12690-21133-4?cc=1827217
In case the Carvers become rellies

and who is the Charles born c. 1757 buried in the Old Protestant cemetery St Paul's who died just 2 years before Isaac? https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVPS-75CZ

....a reason to not believe everything written in the bios and trees, as your ancestor is said to have died P.E.I.   * http://www.islandregister.com/jjenkins.html  but altho the date is correct, she died Boston Mass.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11739-92250-68?cc=1463156 The death does say Isaac was born England but one never knows what informants know to be certain. Was she there just for her daughter's wedding the following month?

I see they both claim Episcopalian in 1881 ( Lot 34 for those hunting)  so CoE, Presby, Anglican, Methodist might all sister with that as they all eventually became United, is that correct? http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e325/e008113711.jpg
 
*also was Cantharine Conden**  JENKINS b. November 10 or Nov 16, 1852 ( the site also says she married a Condon) I love that she was born "7 miles from town")
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12693-43-48?cc=1827217
I imagine it was supposed to have been Catharine Congdon**
Margaret A was baptised as Ann Margaret

John Barret married Nancy Carver July 6th 1891 so that rules them out unless isaac was born out of wedlock...You can peruse this link further for more early marriages at St.Paul's
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-26180-12388-77?cc=1937794&wc=M6PC-338:238490801,238538101,238538102,238562301


Hmmmm...Have you seen the actual death record in handwriting?
Oddly this has Isaac b. 1778 age 32 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-26176-35332-55?cc=1937794&wc=M6PC-96X:238490801,238538101,238538102,238554401

Does the original say b. 1798 age 32.....or might it say 1778 age 52??? This error in the genealogical notes is something to look into

I see Benjamin William died 1871 ...Did he marry or do you know?   http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSiman=1&GScid=2307056&GSfn=&GSln=barrett
Other Barret now are posted from the Old Protestant Cemetery

Added:
Names of just the male on headstones only (  :P ) are listed from the Old Protestant cemetry, and there is a James & wife 101 and another James & wife are 262 R.M Barrett & wife are 307, Isaac then the Duffys are 342 & 343

You hadn't posted whether or not you had excluded any families so was looking for clues and when I find stuff I post it as dusty note piles are a pain. Plus for those looking in they can see what I've already looked at. There may be a clue in there somewhere...
I was also looking for names of children for a kickstart, but none stood out as yet, several are reused in both Jenkins and Barrett families.... Isaac is not a well used name, but still  no clues there.
