Going through your posts Liz as I was getting a bit confused! As summary to help here:
- Patrick Coyle and Alice Killpatrick married on 8 Aug. 1871 in Belfast, a Catholic service
- Patrick Coyle is supposed to have drowned (he was a seaman) in 1873.
- You have poor relief notes for Alice applying for aid in Glasgow in 1873. You say on this application she is noted as having a daughter Mary who was four in 1873.
- You also have Mary marrying a William Ashwood in Maryhill, Glasgow in 1896. On this her parents show as Patrick and Alice, father deceased.
Now:
- Is Mary your grandmother? Is this how you have worked back to Patrick and Alice?
- Have you found Mary and Alice on any census in Scotland, particularly Mary after her marriage to William Ashwood?
- Have you managed to obtain a copy of the marriage of Patrick and Alice from 1871 to confirm ages, occupation etc.?
- Do Mary's ages, in what you have for her, confirm her birth as Dublin and birth year (or does her age vary a lot?). If she was 4 in 1873, likely she may have been born before parents married in 1871.
Sancti's possible death entry in 1915 in Glasgow for an Alice Kyle/Kilpatrick looks promising.
