Nice to see people are interested in my family!
Gerald MacCrossan was my grandfather and he always said that he was the thirteenth of fifteen. As you say Sarah Barron states that she had 14 children. I think that my grandfather had included the child that she had "adopted".
As far as I can ascertain from the original records the family is as follows: you will note that I am short of one child.
Charles Albert born 23 September 1865 at Lisanelly [sic]; Omagh district: emigrated to USA, lived in various parts; died in California 23 September 1945 - California Death Index. [married but dsp] He was a telegraphist.

As you can see thee is a gap of four years between Mary Ann and my grandfather. There is a possible Pauline in Jan quarter of 1884.
The last three in the family were teachers
Hugh was a trained Master Baker and Confectioner. Everyone loved his cakes!
