Thanks amondg & Kiltaglassan,
Mary Ann Metcalf nee Baxter husband Joseph Metcalf is a Weaver on the 2 children births I've located for them .
They married in 1857 so it's likely I've not located all their children.

The 1901 census you quoted isn't Mary Anne listed as a farmer?
Have you found the birth of Margaret Jane circa 1860 ?
Is there another Richard born circa 1870 based on 1901 census age? I know they are not always correct, for it all to add up the father has to be Joseph a farmer.

Do you have this, Mick?

When you delve back farther, I would check for Midcoff, Midcaff, Mitkiff, Midkiff and Midcalf for Joseph m. Baxter, father Joseph plus other variations. Most in the Lurgan area are Ch of Ireland, but Samuel m. Ann Saunders is Presbyterian and had Elizabeth 1825, 1828. Anthony in Derrymacash with dau Jane m. Wm Castles 1854 is also Presby. as well as John having son Wm of Ballykelly who married Margaret Hamilton 1845 who later married John Wallace.

Scotlands People. Don't know where they went after 1911. No apparent deaths in Scotland or Ireland. Don't think there were any children. Cannot find them on 1901 census, the year they were married.
It is possible they were already living together in Glasgow, prior to the marriage in Ireland.
Thomas's name is on the 1915 Valuation Roll for a house & a shop in Dumbarton Road, Glasgow. & Sarah for a house in Port St. There is also a John Topley in the same Street.
In 1920, no sign of Thomas, but Sarah is in Cranston St. Nothing after that other than John Topley & His wife.
