Could this be Agnes ? Well I suppose it could but it is a bit strange to just have the title Mrs and no Christian name on a records. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

The death for Phelim/Phelan/Pharlan in 1872 would, along with the other possibilities found by you good folk,  give a time frame of
Phelim McPartlan birth 1788,
baptism of Phelim  McPartlan and Kitty Dolan's  son - Stephen McPartlan 1837
remarriage of Phelim to Agnes
birth of Phelim McPartlan and Agnes Neillan's daughter - Mary in 1847 ( from her marriage certificate in 1871)
marriage of Phelim McPartlan & ?? son Michael McPartlan, a widower, in  1867

All of which, on paper, looks as though it could work. I've now recorded on my paper records  but wont be adding it to any on-line tree as I don't think its enough enough to confirm that they are all the people from the same family. I would love it if it was!! Would you agree or am I being just too cautious?
I've seen to many warnings on here about people who add names that are possibilities and before you know it they have a tree that is full of just that ... possibilities.
A big thank you to all who have pondered over this, made suggestions, searched for things and posted.

I agree in part. Sometimes you build a tree online so the system can search for potential matches, if it turns out they're not good matches, you can delete the entries. It's always a work in progress because some data are not yet in the system but can be added in the near future. You can always set it as private or add notes to make sure people don't think the information is 100% accurate (yet).

Hi PatLac -That's  a good idea and I'd not though about making the tree private but searchable - along with added noted about it being a work in progress. thanks for that.
