    Notes:

    (Research):The story of the Frank Slide - http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/frank4.htm

    It is interesting that I cannot find birth records for any of this family although baptisms may exist.

    I have some thought that ?u?Mary Ann?/u? who was born 4 months after Isabella marriage to William may have been James' child as registered on her death certificate but was raised by Isabella. James seems to have preferred the military life and may have been involved in travel and training/management with them.

    It is interesting that ?u?Lucy's?/u? death certificate also lists James as her father.

    Could it be that James and Isabella had a relationship, Mary Ann was on her way, and William stepped in to marry Isabella because James was elsewhere? Could this be where the dual name James William started to appear in the records? What became of William?

    William mysteriously disappears, never to be found. James cannot marry Isabella because William's death is not known or recorded. The census taker in 1871 is confused and enters both names?

    Where a mother's name is recorded on most of the children's death certificates, some do not mention a father.

    I think the true story will never be known, lost in family/community lore, maybe whispered about but never formally acknowledged.
