In 1853, Old North Tolsta was decrofted to make way for Tolsta Farm, and the family settled at 43 North Tolsta which passed to them from Anne’s parents. Her mother died that same year and her father two years later.
The couple’s son, John, became a cottar at 43 North Tolsta.

In due course 43 North Tolsta passed to their son-in-law Murdo Maciver.
