Note | The 1871 census at Blenheim Township shows as age 4. The 1871 census was done in April of the year and, unlike previous census years, the question was simply, what is your age. Since Bell's birth was in August, a birth year of 1866 is probably correct. The 1901 census shows her year of birth as 1868; her death registration shows her year of birth as 1866. This latter is probably correct. The information was given by her brother, S. N. Moffat of Dundas. It may be that the family was, by this time, spelling their surname with one T. Census years vary, but Isabella Henderson Moffat's name as spelled on her gravestone uses one T. Death reg. 031496-12 Berlin, Waterloo Co. Bella Young Moffat died January 18, 1912, age Berlin.
