Thanks Maura I have that info but wasn't sure if it was correct. I also believe Agnes had a sister Martha born 2/2/1873 and was married to John Paisley.

Safc This is the wrong couple - they confused me for quite a while! but thanks anyway.

Both were born in Carnmoney Co.Antrim.
Their daughter Agnes married Thomas Wishart in Belfast 1/07/1892 and came to Fife Scotland.
Would appreciate any info on family.
