There are quite a few Dalzells in the NB death records, including a couple of Samuels who could be that 1871 Samuel. I'm suspecting that that's what the name really was.

Someone at ancestry.ca has entered a name correction for one of them in the 1901 census -- I saw the marriage record for this couple, but obviously Susie isn't your Susannah since she's living in 1901:


Name: George T Dalzell
[George Young Dalzell]
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Married
Age: 47
Birth Date: 3 Jun 1853
Birthplace: Nb
Relation to Head of House: Head
Spouse's Name: Sussie
Racial or Tribal Origin: Irish
Nationality: Canadian
Religion: S Anny
Occupation: Light Keeper
Province: New Brunswick
District: Charlotte
District Number: 15
Sub-District: Grand Manan
Sub-District Number: E-1
Family Number: 71

It might be worth contacting that Ancestry user to see whether s/he knows anything. If you PM me that email address, I can send a message through ancestry.ca asking that the user contact you.
