who is annie/ann candlish

[JACKEROO]

while doing research, i came across annie/anne candlish on a headstone for ann kinghorn and roderick mclean at rookwood cemetery
all i could make out on was annie candlish at the top . i looked up nsw bdm's and all  i could come across for annie candlish died 1928, and parents roderrick and nancy, new lambton , is this the same person and the same family for roderick and anne kinghorn, i have no information except this

Hello  there JAckeroo

Now  Nancy  is an excepted short name for Annie.  Do you know  if Annie Kinghorn was also called Nancy?

Now a quick look  at  the NSW on  lin BDM shows an Annie McLean Marrying a John Candlish in Organ  which  ties in  with your family  history  Orange  that is.

no i did not realise nancy was the same as annie or ann, nor did i know if anne kinghorn was ever called nancy, i just found the headstone at rookwood with this on , and ann kinghorn and roderick mclean,
so i presume she was buried with parents ann and roderick,
also o it it had a john george griffith so he could be connected as well, but of him i know nothing
ann kinghorn was the sister of my husbands great grandfather james kinghorn

So  then  Jackeroo  did Roderick McLean have a sister called Annie?

seems  the  most like scenario  but  how ever only a certificate would  define the facts.

Did you  note a date of death for John George Griffith please

annie or ann could have been the daughter of abraham and harriet clarinda mclean, i found a birth for an annie or ann in 1872 orange , abraham was the son of ann and roderick mclean there was also an anne born in 1844 to ann and roderick mclean in orange, confusing
i do not know how to post photo's.

Not  really  Jackeroo as  John Candlish  married Annie McLean in 1887  at Orange
