Emerson family

Any additional information on Arbuthnot Macaulay Emerson would be appreciated.
The majority of the post is for research purposes only,  so no moderator extra work is required.

was granted at Dublin to Catherine C. Noseworthy, married woman.  Effects of 38 pounds.  He was buried Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Looking for additional information on William Anderson as the dates for his daughters' marriages do not
make sense unless he was married more than once.
Thanks to Aghadowey, I will redo some of the following:

2.William Anderson of Bushmills, Co. Antrim m. ?;  owned foundry; m. ?  and had issue, sons and daughters;  this may be the same William who died in 1852, aged 80.
3.Agnes Anderson m.1823 John Gwynne
3.Margery Anderson m. ? Crawford
?3.William Anderson, Jr. of Rossnashane/Rosnashane, died 1873; m. Isabella Ann, d. 1871, aged 55.
