Now this is getting confusing...!

Sarah Best (McCune) gives her and Minnie "Best" aged 10 (1911 census) place of birth as Scotland...so given her age one "assumes" she has been married before... so was McCune her maiden name or married name....and was Thomas Miller (1911) any relation at all or just a boarder...

Robert's siblings

Elizabeth 1860
Thompson 1864
John William 1865
James Edward 1867

McCune


Sorry that should of been McClune

Robert Best baptised 23/02/1862 Aghalee C.O.I. Co. Antrim
Parents James Edward & Margaret Best, no mother's maiden name listed

Thompson Best could be Robert's brother
