The Isabella Barr that I'm related to is listed on the Duchess of Argyle passenger lists that I've found as being a single woman and age 22 putting her birth date circa 1820 (although we believe she may have been younger). She married a William Hooper in 1844. The parents listed on Isabella's death certificate are Matthew and Mary Barr. We have had DNA testing done through Ancestry but haven't yet been able to establish if the other Barrs on the ship were related to our Isabella. AMHO
