Hi Jan

From a/try family trees, Agnes's parents are showing as Daniel Whyte and Margaret Watt. Easy enough for you to check from their 1909 marriage in Blythswood, Glasgow.

Likely 1901 entry for the Whyte family, children born in Glasgow:

Daniel Whyte 59 Hay & Grain Merchant b. Kinglassie, fifeshire
Margret Whyte 54 b. Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire
Margret S Whyte 27 School Teacher
Helen Whyte 24 typist
Agnes Whyte 21 Queen Student (...wonder what this was?)
Louisa G C Whyte 15

Address: 325 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow/Anderston

Monica

PS: If you have a subs with a/try, this is the family tree I was looking at www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/69965281/person/230044267117/facts
