Yes you are probably right about Elizabeth McCarran - I can check with my Auntie Beth - she is the Daughter of Agnes McCully.  Certainly Agnes was 5 in the 1901 Census. I was torn about this as I thought there was a connection with the Moore's of Moybrick as well.

That is right Sam Barry.

Mary Coulter died in October 1883 and the death registration was signed by her son John Edgar - my Great Grandfather..

That's spot on KG. Many thanks for that!

Robert Edgar was my Grandfather and Robert Norman was his son (my Uncle) - Norman died a couple of years back aged around 87.  Maybe Norman's wife was Megarry as none of Roberts daughters married a Megarry.

John Edgar was my Great Grandfather and William John was his oldest son - this William J could be a Grandson..  I'll confirm this with my Aunt Beth - the last surviving member of Robert's family.

Regarding your earlier comment about Alexander McCully and Eliza McCarron - I think this may be a different connection. When Agnes' mother died she went to live with her Uncle Adam (Alexander's brother) and Adam's father on his marriage registration to Emma Laughlin is shown as Thomas McCully. The 1911 Census show Adam & Emma and Niece Aggie aged 15. Too many Alexander McCully's!  But getting clearer and clearer!  My Aunt Beth might know was the connection Moore or McCarron. Or it's a different Adam and Emma.
