Those 2 marriages fit with census details I found- link to Daniel Caldwell and wife Mary posted earlier in thread.

Think this is Robert Caldwell's son John and wife Margaret in 1911- eldest daughter was Agnes and perhaps she was named after Nancy Baird? Strangely enough I've not yet been able to find birth registrations for the children even though census says born Co.Derry.
