So Im guessing Mary Black aged 2 is Marys first child , she would have been 14ish if she was 16 in the 1881 census Working for the McCourty family as a dairymaid :/ David must have been aware of his older siblings as he stated his only brother george as next of kin along with his mother mary. Address unknown. It really is confusing

Yes, I should think so.

I'm guessing that Mary was Margaret Thom's child by a previous marriage or relationship; just looking for them in 1871.

I'm getting one hit on ScotlandsPeople for a marriage between John Thom and Marg* Black between 1871 and 1881 in Crossmichael district.

Seriously impressed, Mary. I looked at some of those records and couldn't tie it all together.

*thumbs up*

Yes, got it now, and I've e-mailed you the details, which I'll copy here for the benefit of anyone else who's searching.

Marriage cert:

11 August 1874, Midpark, Crossmichael, after banns according to the
forms of the Church of Scotland

John Thom, quarryman, widower, 47, Midpark, parents William Thom,
gardener deceased and Janet Thom, maiden name Smith (this is the Janet
Smith who was with John in 1871)

Margaret Black, laundress, widow, 47, Midpark, parents John Sommers?,
labourer and Mary Sommers, maiden name Kennan?

The witnesses were Anna Miras? and Hugh Rodgers.

I haven't found Margaret or Mary Black in 1871 yet.
