I have found out more information on Sarah Miller and Patrick Bannigan from records in the Mitchell Library. If this is of interest still, please let me know and I'll pass them on.

My grandmother was the daughter of  Sarah's sister Agnes Miller who married James Fitzpatrick.  They both died young in 1915, in the same hospital, a day apart.  Agnes had multiple sclerosis and James had bronchitis.  So my grandmother, Catherine Fitzpatrick went to live with her aunt Sarah and Uncle Paddy, as she called Patrick Bannigan .  I'm afraid I know very little about when they came over from Ireland and I've only got the same information as you. 
Both he and Sarah seem to have been extremely generous because they took in all the waifs and strays of the family when they hit hard times.  I found records in the Glasgow Poor Laws which referred to sister Flora and her 3 children also living with Sarah and Paddy.

I really would love photos if you have any with Sarah in them.  I only have one photo of my grandmother as a young girl and none of her parents, so anything you have would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick Bannigan, son of Felix from Co Monaghan was married to my grandmother's aunt, Sarah Miller.  When her parents died in 1915 , Patrick and Sarah took her in to their home. Previously  Patrick served in the Boer War and met his wife because they both lived in the same backlands tenement at 43 Duke Street Glasgow.  I have Patrick's death certificate and can remember some stories my grandmother told me about him.
