I don't think I can help you but I have some information that may be worth keeping in mind or researching further. I have a Daniel Black Lambie who married Jeanie Gemmell in 1881. Daniels grandmother was Janet Gray born about 1810. Jeanie Gemmell born 1860, her parents Hugh Gemmell and Mary McFee. Because I think families stuck together in those days - through the generations. It may be an idea to find more info on Hugh and Mary Gemmell and see if they where raising an Annie! The census may be the key? The
