According to the Scottish 1871 census Gricelda Haggerty was born around 1836 in Derry. Married at the time to Peter McPhail.

The problem is...Her father was John or Thomas Haggerty? I believe her mum was Margaret Gordon.

Gricelda was also known as Grace or Matida for some unknown reason. Gricelda on her marriage cert but Grace on her death cert.

Can any one please confirm her correct father of year of birth?

Gricelda left Ireland and then married Peter McPhail in Port Glasgow in 1864. This was Peters second marriage. Peter was also from Derry he was born around 1829.

Thank you for your help with these matters, I am very grateful.
