     Isabella Senior was born on 8 June 1835.¹ She was the daughter of Squire Senior and Frances Hall. Isabella Senior was baptized on 11 September 1835 at Batley.²

In the census of 30 March 1851 she was listed as a piecer at a woollen factory the daughter of Squire Senior at Clerk Green, Batley.⁴
Isabella Senior married Jeremiah Mitchell, son of Joseph Mitchell, on 12 August 1852 at Bradford I thought perhaps I had made a mistake on this one, for Isabella wsa married as daughter of John Senior, a spinner. However, Like Squire's daughter this Isabella was born in June 1835 as is shown on a later American census. I can find no Isabella born to a John at that time, either in baptisms or in census recoerds. Squire Senior's daughter Isabella is not to be found in UK censuses after 1851, and I can find no alternative marriage or death recorded for her. Their first son was born in Clerk Green, where Squire Senior, listed as a spinner in 1851, and his wife were living. I think therefore that this was Squire's Isabella, aged 18, and that either the father's name was a mistake orthe marriage was a clandestine one.^5,6
