Notes
a. Note:   N8 Marriage notice from New Brunswick Courier: married Thursday eve., by Rev. Samuel Robinson, James isbister / Miss Mary Golding, both of this city. (Saint John) Note: Rev. Robinson was a Baptist minister and at the time was at Germain St. Baptist Church.
  Note: There is a discrepancy. The marriage gives her name as Mary Ann Golding but all subsequent references name her as Mary M. She is apparently his first wife as they are married in 1842 and first child Susan is born in 1842. The name Mary Golding is also supported by the death record of their daughter Gertrude, born in 1860, so there seem to be no intervening second spouses. (SBG)
  Note: Mr. and Mrs. John N. Golding were witnesses at the marriage of James S. Isbister, when he came back from Boston in 1891 to marry Edith Nixon.
  On 29 Sept, 1829, a certain Mary Golding was baptized, aged 7 week, daughter of John Golding and Bridget Neil. Sponsors John Rodgers and Bridget Donnelly. Baptized by John Carroll. However, these names don’t fit the Isbister children and she would have only been 12 in 1842.
  d. Thursday 18th inst., Mary M. Isbister, age 56, relict of James isbister. Funeral Sunday 2 o'clock from residence of her son-in-law, J.D. SMITH, 101 Duke St. near Charlotte (St. John)
 Note I cannot find this J.D. Smith in the 1881 census nor in the closest Saint John directories. but this must be James D. Smith who married Alice Isbister in 1872. Note: Provincial Registration of Deaths did not begin in N.B. until 1888 essentially, so there is no provincial record. The Fernhill record gives no additional information beyond the newspaper account.
  McAlpine’s Saint John City Directory 1874-1875 lists Isbister House, Mrs. James Isbister, Proprietor, 22 King St. Opposite page advert. for Isbister House lists proprietor as M.M. Isbister. (see multimedia)
  Isbister House was destroyed in the Great Fire in 1877: “Among the other hotels destroyed were the Bay View, Acadia Hotel, Fisher House, Gordon House, Isbister House, Boston House, and other lesser establishments.”
  May have been living in Woodstock in 1877--see Gertrude. Since Isbister House burned in the fire, this makes some sense.
