Note

Under the Scottish naming practices her name should be Mary or Agnes from the names of John Neilson's children. Her daughter Mary's death Cert says that her name is Mary - so Mary it is.

I have searched for daughters Elizabeth, Margaret & Janet in the Statutory Death records, but not found them.

Mary could be Mary Gillies.

The only Mary in the surviving OPRs to marry a William Struthers in the period 1760 to 1783 was Mary Gillies; who married a William Struthers in Barony and in Glasgow in 1767. They baptised 6 children in Barony:
William 8 Jan 1769
Alexander 9 Sep 1770
Robert 29 Mar 1772
Margaret 27 Mar 1774
Alexander 15 Aug 1776 and
James 31 May 1778
and POSSIBLY 6 in East Kilbride
Andrew 23 Jun 1780
Elizabeth 2 Mar 1783
Mary 23 Apr 1785
Janet 19 Aug 1788
Margaret 6 Jun 1791
Margaret 6 Nov 1793

  • the timing suggests a continuity between Barony & East Kilbride
  • if this is Mary Gillies she was 45 when the last Margaret was born.

If Mary Gillies is the daughter of Alexander Gillies and Elizabeth Wilson (baptised Barony 21 Aug 1748) Then this would fit the naming pattern (2nd son, 2nd daughter), leaving 1st son and 1st daughter (William & Margaret) to be William's parent
