Thanks Rosie,
I think that is the right family, however Lyna  (she spelled it Lina) was born in 1905, and I do not think she was adopted......as for her siblings not sure. Waiting for more information from my aunt.
Her headstone does confirm the spelling "Lina" and her birth in 1905.
Will look into Elizabeth Campbell (aunt), maybe that is the wifes aunt. Which could lead me to her maiden name.....?
Thats all I have an yes, I saw James died in 1879, while his son died in 1926. Pius' wife passed away after 1933 as she attended "Lina's" wedding in 1933. Intially I thought Lina was a nickname for something else but it is possible with the exception of the slight diff in spelling, however 11 yrs diff in age.....at the time of the 1921 census she was 16 yrs old not 5 yrs. That could not be mistaken. Will look over the possible aunt clue...Thanks again...
