Isabella Haughay was born about 1856. She married William White and their daughter Margaret was born in New Zealand in 1880.

What happened to William in unclear.

On 10 August 1883 Isabella married Arthur Watt Wilson, a millwright and widower with three children, in the Milton Parish.

They had six children together and when Isabella signed the suffrage petition the family were living in Milton.

Arthur died at their home in 1903, he is buried in the Fairfax Cemetery, Milton.

Isabella died on 21 August 1941 at her home, she is presumably buried with Arthur.
