I know, Jessie Millright is a bit of a mystery, she is the same person as Jannet, Jenie Jessie Wyatt even have her death Jessie Wyatt "single" she is listed as half sister yet I cant find a Millright birth or marriage.

It a bit strange isn't it. Robert and Elizabeth were together 1861, so doesn't look on the face of it like she is child of Elizabeth Hall who then got together with Robert Brpugh. I am fairly sure it is the same wife in both cases as her birthplace is 'Swaaran, wigton' (obviously mis-tanscribed) and 'Stranraer, wigtonshire' in 1861. However, notedetails of woman living with them:

Mmm Looks like this Isabella may have been taken in by the Broughs, as I have her death certificate states her name as Isabella Brough "formally" Hall and lists her mother as Margaret Hall..No wonder we were confused...Still dont know who she is tho?? perhaps Illigitmate..

You need to look at that 'image' for 1881 to see if it has been mistranscribed.

It would be helpful for people wanting to help you if you could say where Isabella was born and where the family was living in 1871.

Can anyone tell me if they can see Isabella Brough anywhere on the 1881 census?

I have her with her parents (my g g great grandparents) Robert Brough and Elizabeth Wyatt on the 1871 census aged 7. There is an Isabella B Hall "boarder" living with them in 1881aged 17 (same age, place of birth as daughter) but is this the Isabella Brough I'm seeking?? seems a bit young to be married, but having said that I have looked up SP and cannot find a marriage for Brough/Hall.
