Agnes at Galston is the wrong one. She was born 7 April 1855 and her parents are George and Janet
Back to the drawing board.

Yes, Agnes was born in Scotland according to Ancestry trees. They have a birth date of 9 April 1855 for her. But I cannot find her on S.P.
Place of birth is said to be Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
Never trust online trees!
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.

I did have a warning on my first post.
Father Thomas was a Tailor living at 3 Low Glen Street, Kilmarnock in 1861 census.
Thomas died 27/10/1901 in Otago New Zealand. Born in Scotland. Lived in Otago 33 years and was a Tailor.
The wife was Agnes Wilson died 13/8/1901 aged 82. Born in Scotland.
Daughter  Marion was born 22 May 1860 at 1 Low Glen Street, Kilmarnock.
So why can I not find Agnes supposed to be born 9 April 1855 Kilmarnock or Mary born 1846,1847 or 1848 Kilmarnock?
I have ruled out Mary born 1847 Germany ;D

Got it. Thank you. Parent's are correct.
Agness was born 9 April 1855 at 9.40pm. ( Birth date matches with 1 Tree )
States 2 boys living 2 girls living, this matches the 1861 census.
Also 1 boy and 1 girl dead  :'(
This is as close as I will get to finding Mary's birth so I'm happy with that. I have the right family.
Thank you to all who have helped.
