Ann or Agnes manners

[Kaysimpson]

Hi,anyone out there can help me.
I've gone as far as I can go with my family,all official documents paid for and inserted on my tree but the one who is getting me is Ann or Agnes manner born about 1755 to a John manners day labourer living in the toolbooth area of Edinburgh,I am getting nowhere with John accept perhaps deriving from haddington found through other manners marriages.ann or Agnes married George dickson on the 8th June 1779 in the toolbooth area,george was a servant.
There you go this is one to get your hair around and I won't be surprised to hear from no one.
Obviously love to know more of George Dickson also,or is this asking far too much.
My connection is George Dickson born to George and Ann in Liberton in 1783 and married Marion Niven.george was a coach painter from the closes on castle hill in the later years of his life.
Thanks to anyone trying.

Sorry,it's not working for me,but anyway thanks for the try,I only get McMaster and no one to do with my manners,or at least I'm not seeing this,and it's not for not trying,I am well accustomed to family search and have found many clues.
Thanks again
