Yes she did have sister called Mary and apparently was referred to as May. Nothing is known of Mary or May so thats a blank space as well. The name of Mc Kee relates back to Burnaby St where the family are living with a Mc Kee family and are all been referred to as Mc Kee.
History. Militaria.

The information was pretty consistent when Annie McCabe's death on 19 May 1936 was registered on the same day by her son J. J. McCabe of 13 Rockville Street.  He registered the death under the name Annie McCabe, he reported that she died at 12 Donnybrook Street (heart disease), that her age was 69 and that she was the 'Widow of James McCabe a Constable R.I.C.'.

If you look at what street directories are available on the Lennon Wylie website, you can see that the occupier of 12 Donnybrook Street initially changed to what looks like the daughter Mary:

By the time of the 1951 street listing for Donnybrook Street, Mary is shown next door at no. 14:

12. Pollock, Mrs. H.
14. McCabe, Miss M.

The 1955 and 1960 listings then show this:

12. Pollock, Mrs. H.
14. McKee, Miss M.

BTW, the Mrs. H Pollock was likely a widow Harriet Pollock, according to an entry in the PRONI Will Calendars: Pollock, Harriet of 12 Donnybrook Street Belfast widow died 9 July 1962 at Belfast City Hospital Belfast Probate Belfast 20 August to John Girvan presbyterian minister. Effects £1278 5s.

Vital records for N.I. counties only go up to 1921.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Was thinking about this thread when making the tea and going to ask about sister Mary! I did see something with McKibben come up last night so now off to see if I can find it again.

My gut says that the following is a distinct possibility.

According to that transcript of the 1915 McCabe-McGrath church marriage record, the groom's mother was Annie McKinstry.  Note the following three births:

- Mary born on 3 April 1886 at 9 Blackwater Street, mother Annie McKinley (worker wareroom), no father given, information provided by Margaret Madden of 14 Ton Street, present at birth:

- John James born on 3 October 1888 at 9 Blackwater Street, father James McKinley a fireman, mother Annie McKinley formerly McKinstry, information provided by Margaret Madden of 44 McDonnell Street, present at birth:
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1888/02498/1926689.pdf

- Kathleen born on 18 May 1891 at 3 Fifth Street, mother Annie McKinley (wareroom worker), no father given, information provided by Margaret Madden of 50 McDonnell Street, present at birth: 
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1891/02392/1892195.pdf

I'll see if there are any baptismal records...
