ggreatgrandma Agnes McDavid
« on: Tuesday 29 December 15 12:14 GMT (UK) »
Agnes McDavid, married, Oates Avison Clark, in Dewsbury, W Yorks, in 1879. In 1881 census she is shown as 22 yrs old and from Scotland, and what looks like Dunseure. Any help please as I can't find her in BMD.

1911 census reads: Duncore  which was completed by Agnes herself!
Manchester Rambler may be correct with Dunscore.

Best thing would be to get her marriage certificate to see who her father is

This is fascinating information. What site would I need to join to continue my search. You mentioned siblings, how many, what names, many, many thanks for this help.
