Her sister was born in Swinton in 1906.

In the 1911 census as Mary Purves aged 7, born in Swinton, Berwickshire and living with her parents (Peter and Ann), and two sisters (Helen and Jane Renton) in three rooms with one or more windows at Walter Stead Cottage, Ladykirk.

I cannot locate her in the 1921 census but she was not living with her parents.
