James H Isenor and Annabella and children are in the 1901 Census in Nine Mile River. That info should help you get started. He is in the 1891 Census in Halifax Co. as James Isnor, age 40. I think his wife listed as Emma is a mix up with
their daughter Emma. You will find some marriages of the children in
NS Vital Stats.
