Thank you David!!!
I now have seen a copy of Annie's marriage certificate to Thomas P Collister. it was 14 Nov 1928 at Malew, Annie's birthday is 25 Dec but there is some uncertainty of the year 1902 or 1904. Evidence points to the latter, but one one of the certificates her daughter showed me states 1902.We also have found a record of her marriage to John Duff 24 July 1926, it appears he was 78 years old at the time, he died in 1928 aged 80!! The son, William Robert Howard was born less than a month after the wedding. The information you have unearthed regarding PTC's first marriage is certainly worth following up!! You appear to have found some children of John Duff from his two previous marriages and the elusive "Kate Callow!" Although fates are a bit askew!!! Thank you!! Do you see the other posts on the message board on this search? if so you will see the information that is coming in which is wonderfully revealing!! Much has come to light but there is still so much to be discovered!! Do you have access to the other posts, if not, let me know and I will try and copy it to you. Thank you so much for your interest and help, it is so greatly appreciated!!!
