      Agnes Wilkie later known (per 1881 census) as Agnes Barclay - is living in the household of her (possibly adopted) Father David Barclay and his 2nd wife Isabella Lyall - as Agnes' natural Mother Margaret succumbed to child birth death in 1874. At this point I have not determined whether David Barclay is the reputed Father of Agnes Wilkie, born 1860 - Margaret Wilkie & David Barclay's marriage not happening until 1865 . Also residing in this same household are Agnes (wilkie) Barclay's two illegitimate daughters - Margaret Barclay age 3 & Isabella Barclay age 6 mos

      As 2011, haven't found Agnes but she may have married, migrated to Canada or USA or moved to England
