Isabella Hall
18?? - 18??
Isabella was Calum's and Jamie's five times great grandmother.
Isabella was born in the early part of the 19th Century, it is believed
in Belfast, Ireland.
At some stage in Belfast, prior to 1848, she married a sawyer called Arthur
Taylor, son of John Taylor, and had two sons with him in 1847 and 1848. However, it does not
appear that the couple had a happy marriage as the following article in the Banner of Ulster noted from 21 MAY
1850 shows:
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. - On Saturday morning last, a poor
woman, named Taylor, wife of a sawyer, residing at the corner of McClelland's Entry, Old Lodge Road, attempted to take away
her own life by inflciting a severe wound on her throat with a razor. The unhappy women, whose rash act almost terminated
her existence, and who now lives in a precarious state in hospital, had been drinking for several days, and was in a
state of intoxication when she attempted to commit suicide. Had it not been for the prompt attendance and skilful exertions
of Dr. Harkin, she could not have survived. Several causes, in addition to what may have been delirium tremens, from
drunkenness, are alleged to the commission of the unhappy act.
It is not yet known what became of Isabella after this, but there were no further children, and
it is possible that she may have succumbed to her injuries from this suicide attempt.
