Isabella was born in Canada in 1875 I then checked the 1911 census and just John and Margaret in the household, however this time they both show 1872 as their emigration year, so, it looks like you have a pretty good chance that this was the correct year. If you haven't seen the 1911 yet, I'll paste the source info here Name: John Graham Gender: Male Marital Status: Married Age: 65 Birth Date: January 1846 BirthPlace: Scotland Family Number: 93 Relation to Head of House: Head Spouses's Name: Margaret Immigration Year: 1872 Tribal: Scotch Province: Ontario District: Wentworth District Number: 135 Sub-District: Saltfleet Township, Tapleytown Village Sub-District Number: 46 Place of Habitation: Saltfleet Census Year: 1911 Page: 8 Household Members: Name Age John Graham 65 Margaret Graham 63 There are only 30 ships Glasgow - Quebec to check for 1872 . . . many more from Liverpool, but I think they probably would have sailed from Glasgow From the CD-ROM --"TheShipsList Passenger Ship Arrivals Canadian Ports 1865-1899"-- http://theshipslist.com/cdrom/index.htm ....eg. of the first 3 Reel Number Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information Shipping Line Special Group(s) Remarks C-4527 ST.
