JK comment:
Agnes was illegitimate daughter of Sussanah Callison, Agnes was born between death of Sussanah's first husband and John Callison.
May not be true as although Sussanah and John may not have been married they were together before 1861. Agnes was oldest child of possibly eleven children.
Agnes was born 6th December 1874, New Carnbroe, Agnes was listed as Dairymaid when married.
From the places of birth it looks as if John and Sussanah came to Scotland from Ireland around, 1860.
