Hi Francesca,
Having looked at the other, older topic - and found other items, I'm a bit confused so just checking.
You say Mary's husband Cornelius died
1886, and was born
1821... and I find this fellow:

Then there is this........ def. enumerated as Candia! Maybe supposed to be 'Condie/Condy, apparently a pet form of Cornelius'? The address Cowgate, is the same where your Biddy KILDAY was born 1863:CENSUS 1861: Cowgate, Kirkintilloch, DumbartonshireHead: Candia KILDAY 40, Ag Lab, b Ireland (b abt

(Note: Nancy can be a pet name for Agnes or Ann)And this, which you mentioned on the other topicPARISH REMOVAL ORDER 1869:Return of all poor persons removed from Scotland to Ireland

Is this this removal order what you're referring to here:
I believe she may have lived after this due to another record I have found which lead me towards looking in Ireland.
