Thank you all so much for these posts, long ago as they may be.

Hi
Did you find out any more about Mary Ann Reynolds? I have some if you are still interested, and would like some more.

Hi Daria

I think that this is as far as I can go with your family. I know very little on Irish genealogy, except that it's difficult 

Edward and Catherine's marriage cert gives no more clues. The witnesses were a Hugh Quin and Rose Ann Cairns.

Good Luck

Regards

I think I have found the witness 'Rose Ann Cairns'

In 1868 Rose Ann Cairns was born at Bankhead, West Calder - http://uk.geocities.com/fnsnclr@btinternet.com/genealogy/examples/Townsend/TownsendChrono.htm

This site is about the Shale mines and oil works in Broxburn...So she is quite possibly a friend or something. Seems the shale mine and oil workers were a close knit bunch.

Greetings  - Rose Ann or Roseann Cairns was my Great Grandmother. Her eldest son James McFarlane was my Grandad.

I've just found Mary Ann's funeral notice on Trove Australia. It was in the Brisbane Courier Qld 1864 - 1933: Tuesday 12 March 1929.

Is it possible that this actually is Edward (my great-grandfather)? Could Agnes McGee have died by this stage and Patick adopted him?

Hugh Rafferty married Annie Reynolds, Calton, Glasgow, 1890

From what I've been able to investigate e.g. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KMKY-K82 & https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KS6X-X93   it looks like Annie was born in Buteshire. This doesn't look all that promising about her being a sister of Edward. It could still be true though. I wonder if, though, that Hugh could be married to a sister of Catherine Martin instead, or another sister of Edward.
By the way, the Hugh Rafferty or Raverty that seems to have married Annie Reynolds seems to have been born in Roxburgshire e.g. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KMF7-98Y Hugh and Annie had a son called James: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTFS-RJP Annie in that was called Annie Reynolds Rafferty.
I'm still struggling with all this and would much appreciate any help.
Was James actually related?

Sorry I helped Darz 7 years ago (January 2008) and have not looked at this thread since. It's 5  pages long.  I suggest that Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk might be the place to look.
