Hi,
   Don't know if it is the same person but Mary Anne married William Tosh in Macosquin Presbyterian Church on 14 Jun 1888.
  Have you any further information about the couple i.e their father's names and occupations?

Sorry Aghadowey, I was referring to Annie born 8 th March 1865, the daughter of David McCandless and Catherine Steedman (Stockman )

David & Catherine's daughter Annie never married.

Aghadowey. have you any info on David McC's parents? Samuel born 1805 died  1.3.1874 aged 69. His wife's first name was Ann who died 7.6.1846 aged 38. Dont know her maiden name. I know that David had 2-4 brothers, I know one was called William (have heaps of info on him) and a Robert (info also) there may be a John and a Hugh. I know he had a sister called Mary who married a James Doherty of Belfast.
I am trying to as far back as I can.
Yes you are right about Annie McCandless. She looked after one of her brothers (William) children when his wife died at a very young age. One of those children was my dad.

I know that David had 2-4 brothers, I know one was called William (have heaps of info on him) and a Robert (info also) there may be a John and a Hugh. Is this the Robert McCandless who married Annie McCandless and his brother William McCandless who married Sarah McCandless?

There was a Hugh McCandless in Coleraine (m.2 Mary Fulton) but his father Samuel was a gardener. Hugh's brother John McCandless marred Catherine Stafford.

Robert McC did marry a Annie??, and yes his brother William did marry a Sarah. Sarah's maiden name was McCandless and her father was a Abram/Abraham of Leardon. Abram married a Mary Black and they had 10 children.
When my great grandfather died in 1874 at Brook Street, Coleraine, signature of the occupier was a Hugh McC. I have Samuel's death cert.

Robert McC did marry a Annie??, and yes his brother William did marry a Sarah. Sarah's maiden name was McCandless and her father was a Abram/Abraham of Leardon.
Looks like 2 brothers married 2 sisters.
Robert McCandless (d.1915) m.1878 Annie McCandless, daughter of Abram McCandless of Learden. I have 11 children listed for them which you likely already have found: Mary (1879), Sarah (1880), Thomas (1881), Anna/Annie (1883), Lizzie (1885), child (1886), Martha (1888), Robert John (1889), Agnes (1891), Eva Margretta (1893), Ida Marion (1895).
William McCandless & Sarah had 10 childrenL Annie (1870), William James (1871), Samuel Abram (1872), Mary Anne (1874), Sarah (1877), Jane (1880), son (1882), Robert Hutchinson (1884), Eva G.L. (1886), Thomas Black (1887).

Hugh's brother John McCandless (c1866) m.1 ?, m.2 (1901) Catherine Stafford. Daughter Mary E. m.(1891) John Todd, m.(1898) William T. Clarke.

Robert born c1842 Co.Antrim
William born c1845 Co.Antrim
Samuel born c1854 Co.Derry
Hugh born c1858 Co.Derry

Hi Kingskerswell,
  As indicated by Aghadowey, Mary Anne is from a different family.
  Where did you obtain your information and have you their  father's names and occupations ?
