Looks as if Agnes was Agnes Thane - married to John Sutherland born 1850 Toronto
Agnes Sutherland passed away about 1957 North Battleford Saskatchewan according to an ancestry tree.

Seems she may have married John Anson Pierce - who passed away Oct 1953 - Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The couple had a son John Henry Pierce (1922–12 April 1994 - Quesnel, BC ) and perhaps a daughter.

Grace Sutherland - 19 June 1916 - passed away 18 February Pinellas Florida - under Grace Geall

So it does look like Agnes Sutherland was just a house - keeper to Frank Bush.

There was a possibility of a  Francis Bush born 1871 Ontario - however later research shows he passed away 3 December 1903 - so one to discount.

St Patricks Ward Toronto City in 1891

Daivd Bush   65 born Quebec. Carpenter.
Margt Bush   56 born US.
David Bush   24 born Ontario. Carpenter.
Chas Bush    17 born Ontario.
Alfred Bush   25 born Ontario. Labourer.
Francis Bush   20 born Ontario. Labourer.

http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1891&op=img&id=30953_148174-00048

This one later marries Emma Lillie Hollis 15 June 1893 York Ontario.
Sadly died 3 December 1903 York Ontario.  :'(

Another Frank Bush in the 1891 census, aged 20, living in Osnabruck Township, Cornwall & Stormont, Ontario -- son of Hiram and Altha.  Hiram dies in 1897, and I can't find a death registration for Altha.

By 1901, Frank is not noted living with his brother (who was also in the 1891 household named Delroy; in 1901, he is Delacey.
