Vital records were not required until 1900 in New Brunswick, so it's church & census records you'd be looking for. You can check some things on line from Provincial Archives of NB (PANB) at http://www.gnb.ca/archives/ols/ols.asp choose online research. One of the children's death certificates "MAY" show Harriet's maiden name, depending on when that child died. Good luck!
