Isabella was born in Canada and married in 1829 to Reverend Edward Bannerman Ramsay, 42 years incumbent of St John's Church and 30 years Dean of the Diocese who greatly endeared himself to his fellow countrymen of every class by his writings and by an example of good will towards all men to his brethren in the ministry of the church by special and never to be forgotten services to his flock by loving discharge of duty in the spirit of the Good Shepherd to the poor by constant benevolence and labours for their welfare.. They had no children. Her father was Thomas Cochrane, Speaker to the House of Representatives in Nova Scotia. Isabella had brothers who had distinguished legal careers in Canada and in Gibraltar; and another having a distinguished career in the British Army. She acted as mother to three nieces when their mother died. This window was erected to Isabella between August 1858 and 10th November 1859.
