Biography

'Isabella was born 1857 to John Bain and Sinclair (Manson) Bain. She died in 1915.

Born 16 Jul 1857 Staxigoe, Wick, Caithness, Scotland

Agnes (Davidson) Henderson (Nana)'s b'day book has 16 July 1857 'Mrs DAVIDSON'. Somewhere in my early research I had 16th Feb and a baptism 9th Mar, 1857, but the source, as for so much early research, was unfortunately not noted. Cert. ^[1] rechecked, definitely says 16 July John BAIN, ag worker, Sinclair m.s. MANSON Henderson-2297 22:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
