Did your Mary Margaret (Porter) Gibson return to County Tyrone? I see the following abstract for a Margaret Porter in Ballee:
Title : Mrs Date of Death : 11 November 1927 Surname : Gibson Date of Grant : 19 November 1956 Forename : Margaret Reseal Date : Registry : Londonderry Effects : Effects £25 0s 0d No Image Full Abstract : Gibson Margaret of Ballee Strabane county Tyrone widow died 11 November 1927 Probate Londonderry 19 November to Robert John Gibson farmer. Effects £25. If not her, then likely a relative. Kincaids were in Ballee townland as well. There was a Kincaid-Porter union in the mid 1800s in Londonderry: On 25 November 1862, Andrew Kinkaid, a full age bachelor farmer of Dundrain, son of John Kinkaid, farmer, was married to Jane Porter, a 20 year old spinster of Elagh, daughter of Andrew Porter, farmer at Ballyarnet Parish Church, Templemore Parish, County Londonderry to the form and discipline of the Presbyterian Church by license by Robert McCreery. The witnesses were William Robinson and George Adair [Ireland. Civil Registrations of Marriages. Londonderry, 1862, vol. 7, p. 261, no. 47; LDS film no. 101438]. While in the Glasgow area, this Kincaid family hailed from Ireland and I suspect them to be from Donagheady Parish (Maghereagh and Drummeny connections). I thought I'd add it here in case the name fit with some of yours. The Statutory Death Registers records the death of Margaret Porter "suddenly in Alexander Kincaid's house Levern Bank, Neilston" on 5 August 1880 at Levern Bank, Neilston, being a 60 year old daughter of the deceased William Kincaid, miller, and the deceased Janet Ferrie and spouse of 1) George Porter, shoemaker, and 2) Joseph Porter, shoemaker. Her sister Jean Kincaid was present at her death [GROS, Neilston District, Renfrew County, 572/01 0069. p. 23, no. 69].
