At this time Ann was aged 12 and a scholar; later she may have been a bondager. It is known that Ann was living in Cornhill parish in 1850. Her father William a farm steward all his life, died at Campfield in 1865.

One of her daughters, Jane, who married a William Hope is buried in Cornhill churchyard.
Isabella’s father, William Lough came from Coldstream. They were Presbyterians.
The girl in the photo is one of her grandaughters, probably Elizabeth (Bessie) Speedy who was a farm servant living at cottage no. 10 at Carham for a while. Bessie’s mother, Mary Nevins married Isabella’s son, Thomas. The Nevins family were millers at New Heaton. Four of the Nevins brothers were great sportsmen and competed in the Tillside Games. Their achievements were recorded in the Berwick Advertiser on 9th April 1836.* Mary was the niece of these sporty Nevins brothers.
On the occasion of this photograph, Isabella was in Newcastle visiting another grandaughter, Mary (Speedy) Gilroy, also once a farm servant, but who later migrated to Newcastle with her husband, William Gilroy.
