Lanarkshire / Re: Help please MARGARET COLLIGAN

Hi. Agnes Hale is my great great grandmother. The eldest daughter, Esther Shannon being my great grandmother. I have Margaret Ellis (or Allace or even Aleis) born in Ireland "about" 1844. I also have a birth/ baptism for her husband Francis (given as John Francis) from Airdrie St Margaret's (RC) 19 Oct 1847.
The only birth I have found in Ireland is Mary Ann in 1844. I have always assumed that Mary Ann died in Ireland before the family crossed to Scotland, given that the 1840s is the height of the potato famine in Ireland.
