Sarah and Agnes McCusker are in Whitehall Court in 1911

Maybe
Agnes McCusker, bap 9 Feb 1846, St Patrick's Belfast
father Edward
mother Eliza (Moon, Moore?)

That's a great find!  Thank you.  That would support my hunch that the ages on the 1901 census are 55 and 57 and not 35 & 37 as transcribed.

Marriage at St Patrick, Belfast, 6 Nov 1837
Edward McCusker + Eliza Moor

The marriage & baptism of daughter Agnes are looking even better when you add this baptism-
Mary McCusker bapt. 7 June 1842 St. Patrick’s, parents Edwd McCusker & Betty Moore

More to follow later on McCuskers & Donnellys...

Oh wow!  That's fantastic!  I really hope these are Edwards family.  My dad would be so happy to have finally found them!   And another generation further!

Although, the Death record for Agnes that puts her at 43 in 1913 stinks things up a bit  ???

I did more searching after my last post but was waiting to hear back from you. One certain thing I can tell you is that Agnes and Nancy (as well as Ann(e) ) are interchangeable.
Have more to post later on McCuskers &  Donnellys.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Good to know.  Thank you.  I knew Nancy and Ann were interchangeable, I didn't realise Agnes was also.  That would make much more sense of the documents, (apart from the age on the death entry)
