I'm still on the track of the Sim family, and wondered if anyone has any idea what became of the sons John Sim, born 1850; Maxwell George Sim, born 1856; and Allison Arthur Sim, born 1857.

In the will of his uncle Alexander Waddell Aitken, who died in Australia in 1884, Maxwell Sim of Forsyth was to receive a gold watch. Where is Forsyth?

One A A Sim, Collooney, paid for a dog licence for a male black retriever on 30 March 1900. He paid 2s for the licence and a fee of 6d. Was this Allison Arthur?

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Born 1857, bought the licence 1900, not much help Forfarian but if she remained a spinster, more chance of finding a death (if it's her)?

I don't see a marriage or death in Ireland?

Maybe someone with more experience with Irish records will do better?
