I was unable to find a record of James & Mary Ann's marriage, but I did find this information relating to Dromore and Mary Ann ISAAC:

James ISAAC came to Canada from Devon, England in 1853. Here he met and married Jane HENDERSON. They settled on Lot 11, Concession 17, where he built a barn and log house. In 1897 he built the present brick home. They raised a family of two boys and six girls. ... The girls were all married in the log house.

Mary (Mrs. James COLERIDGE) lived on Con. 20. James taught for some years at S. S. No. 13 [Dromore]. They had one daughter Jean and moved later to Toronto.

In 1900, Mr. James COLERIDGE became teacher [of Dromore school]. Around this time, there were over 100 pupils on the roll with little ones having to sit along the edge of the platform. Inspector CAMPBELL of Durham in 1905 suggested that another school be fitted out in Dromore. A meeting of the ratepayers was called to consider this proposal but it was rejected on the grounds that the attendance would decline to a more manageable level in a few years and this proved to be the case.
