I am hoping for information about the Sister Of Mercy Order in Glasgow.  I am trying to conclude a line of enquiry which as lead to four people appearing on the 1861 Scottish census.  These people are

name                                           Age      Relationship                           Occupation

Teresa Mary Rigg                        35       Head                                       Sister of Mercy

Quoiser Rigg                                26      Sister of Mercy(nurse)          Sister of Mercy

Margaret Rigg                               30      Sister of Mercy(nurse)          Sister of Mercy

Ann Rigg                                        40      Sister of Mercy(nurse)          Sister of Mercy

I am interested to discover whether or not these ladies are related and also are they related in any way to Bishop George Rigg.  I have already established a proven link to Bishop George Rigg and am now looking for other connections.  Any information on this Order would also be very welcome.

Thank you for your time

Barbara
