bullet  Marriage Notes:

Sometime between 1881 and 1891, George and Isabella must have either split up or more probably Isabella must have died. In the 1891 census and after, George is found living with his son, George Jr, along with another woman about his same age.

In the 1901 census, George and Isabella's oldest daughter, Isabella, is found living with her apparently un-married sister, Mary, and Mary's young son. In the 1891 census, the son, Robert, is found living with another family.

The whereabouts of George and Isabella's other daughter, Christina, and the other son, James, are unknown after the 1881 census.
