I am looking for any information about my great grandparents, James Fulton and Agnes McWhinney. James was born in 1937, 38' or 39. His father was John, mother unknown. Agnes was born in 1861, or 62, possibly in Belfast. Her father was William, mother unknown. They came to USA in 1884, and reportedly married that same year. I cannot find birth or marriage documents for them. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Thank you for responding. I do have the information about the second Agnes, but don't know if it is right as the birth date doesn't fit with the information in her obituary. The first Agnes's birth date is too early.      Jane
