Great finding David's death. Yes, I did mean Mary, daughter of Daniel, but I see I said death not birth. I tried about 6 different births.
As for Daniel, I tried hard to find daughter Mary's death in Scotland
I see you have now found Mary's death. You are fabulous.

Nicholas Averell's wife Isabella died in Chicago on Feb 10, 1928. Her parents were James Hovey and Margaret Patterson. I wonder if her obit might mention her niece Lizzie Averell who was possibly Lizzie White before 1928.

I have learned from St. John's COI, Ballinderry Parish, that Lizzie's mother Margaret Jane Workman had a twin brother William George, also born Feb 8,1850 although I don't really want to get diverted into the Workman family. Still hoping to find Lizzie's death. I have requested her sister Julia Sien's obit from Orange Co. in the hopes something is mentioned about the rest of the family, if there is an obit.

I now have the details of the marriage of James B. White to Lily E. Averell in 1923. Her parents were George Averell and Elizabeth Workman, and Lily was born 1899 in  Philadelphia. So  Lily and our Lizzie are not the same person, although likely related. Wonder if Elizabeth Workman and Margaret Jane, mother of Lizzie, are siblings. I don't have George as a sibling to Isaac who is Lizzie's father. Lily and James were both residents of Chester , PA in 1923 at time of marriage.

Lily e. Averell was born March 1899 in Philadelphia as per her marriage record to James B. White, her parents George Averell and Elizabeth Workman. I can't find the family in 1900. James b. White was born poss. 1889 as per marriage record (difficult to read). both his parents John White and Catherine Tobin are deceased before 1923 marriage. I can't find them either in 1900. Can anyone find them? Looking for ages and siblings.

Full name = Lily Ethel Averell
Birth looks more like Mar.1893?

Added- if birthdate is March 1899 here's a Lilliam White-

Wow, that is impressive, aghadowey. I don’t know how you did it but thank you. I notice difference in wife’s name but likely same person. I thought James’ mother was Catherine Tobin even though it was transcribed as Catherine Solen at time of marriage.
Thanks again.

I have looked on findagrave at the Lillian White who died in 1969 and I don’t think it is the correct Lillian. There is a gravestone photo which seems to have all the wrong people.
It is amazing how many James Whites were born in 1883 in Pennsylvania.
I found one who married Isabel Young in 1905 and had several children but our James says he was not married before 1923. In 1920, Isabel is transcribed as Orible.
