Isabella MARTIN (1800-1869) married James HARVEY (1785-1872) February 2nd 1823 probably in the Saul parish C of I. They lived on the Hollymount townland/estate, Upper Lecale. Children: Elizabeth, Isabella, Jane, William, Ann, Margaret, Sarah, Harriet, and James. All emigrated to Canada in 1847 aboard the Josepha out of Belfast.
I have no information at all about Isabella prior to her marriage. Its as if she dropped out of the sky.
There are Harveys who were churchwardens at Downpatrick parish church, (thanks Ros Davies) and I believe there are some Martins who were too, but I can't establish a connection.
Have you kind folks run across any of these people in your research?

Yup. That's them. I'm pretty sure that was the microfilm that I ordered in from family search. And that was all the information that was on the entry. I was surprised that there wasn't more.
I should have mentioned that she was known as Bella, at least in Ireland.
Thanks Christanel!
