Notes:

                   NAME: Edwin Brigget or Edward Wells
NOTE:-No proof that Edward or Edwin was Isabella's biological father.  No father was listed on her birth certificate.  However, Edward Wells and Mary Ann Wells were listed as parents on the extract for register of baptism in Sculcoates County of York in 1841. Two solutions could be plausible, first, Isabella may have been an illegitimate child, listing no father on birth certificate, and Mary Ann married Edwin Brigget after her birth. She would have grown knowing Brigget to be her father and thus he would logically be listed on her death certificate and obituary. Second, Edward Wells was listed as father to Isabella on her christening record. Unusual however to have both parents with the same 'surname'. Thisk line cannot be confidently continued at this time.

3. Her death certificate as filled out by her grandson, Walter John Hill, listed Edwin Brigget as her father
4. If Isabella died in 1925 and not 1923, then she was knowingly sealed to Edwin Briggett and Mary Ann Wells
5. "My father and other descendants remember hearing that Isabella knew Briggett was her father's name despite Mary Ann Wells continuing to use her maiden name for her and Isabella on all records.  Isabella has Briggett listed on her death certificate with her mother as Mary Ann Wells. FamilySearch contributor Catrina Jensen 15 Jun 2013 "
