Oh thank you, that makes sense.

So the ones on inital search results on IGI are now extracted, or more trustworthy? I know previously it was a mix of extracted and submitted.

To finalize, I should lean heavily towards the 1858 result over the 1863 one?

Thank you sinverely Aghadowey for all of your help. You have been very kind. :)

Sarah Jane Lawther McAlister was my great great aunt. I don't know the background to the name Lawther. It might relate to a family friend or neighbour which would have been quite common practice at the time. She was unmarried with one daughter Jane (Jean) b. C1906 who married John Tyrrell but had no children. Sarah had 4 siblings. Her grandfathers were William McAlister and Malcolm Boyd. I think her grandmother Boyd was called Jenny but don't know her maiden name.

Yes, Jane (or Jeanette) Boyd, from Connor, Co.Antrim, Ireland.

The Boyd name was passed down as a middle name in this side of the family.
