Interesting. Maybe Minnie isn't a daughter of William John afterall.
I've also seen a marriage record of 21st November 1855 in Aghalee (village next door to Aghagallon where my Gilberts were from) a Sally Gilbert, daughter of Stephen Gilbert marrying Robert Gilbert, son of Thomas Gilbert.
If this Sally Gilbert is a sister of Stephen Gilbert (brother of William J. Gilbert, and therefore also son of a Stephen Gilbert), and it was her that had a daughter Mary, it would explain why Stephen referred to a niece Minnie Weir in his will when he died in 1902.
