Hi LanneM,
  Welcome to rootschat  :)

  Do you have some idea of their birthdates?
 
   There is a marriage for an Elizabeth Craig Porter on familysearch to Adam Wight in 7 Nov 1873 in Coldingham Berwick Scotland. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTL7-H9T
 Not sure if this is in right time frame?

cheers,
  Ros

Elizabeth Craig Porter was born in approx 1838 could be the correct one.

Thanks

What was the married name for Margaret Black Porter who died in 1918?  We could be very lucky and find a death notice in which the siblings are mentioned.

cheers,
