Hi David
Mother Mary didn't show as deceased on son John's marriage entry in 1908. This looks a possible entry for her in 1891 with her brother John (who showed as a gardener in the 1871 census entry I posted earlier) - children showing as born in Lochwinnoch:
John Bone 34, gardener b. Sorn
Christina Bone 9
Maggie Bone 5
Mary Bone 2
Mary Bone 27, sister b. Sorn
Flora Liddell 42 housekeeper b. Tarbert, Argyleshire
Address: Auchengrange Gardners House, Lochwinnoch Renfrewshire
Maybe John's wife had died and sister helping out with children?
John's 1881 entry:
John Bone 26, gardener b. Sorn
Mary Bone 26 wife b. Drymen, Stirlingshire
Address: Auchengrange, Lochwinnoch Renfrewshire
His marriage cert would let you confirm it is the right family by confirming his parents.

I think this might be the family that your referred to earlier (Margaret, Isobel and Elizabeth Bain, also known as Meg, Tibbie and Lizzie). Likely daughters to Mary's brother James b. 1857. From 1901 census - children all born Glasgow:
James Bain 44, Mercantile Clerk, b. Sorn
Mary Bain 40, wife b. Blantyre, Lanarkshire
Mary Bain 24, Bakers Shop Keeper
Maggie Bain 22, Grocer's Clerkess
Isabella Bain 19, Waitress Teakoones (as transcribed)
Lizzie Bain 17 Drapers Assistant
James Bain Jr 17
Address: 121 Greenhead St, Glasgow Bridgeton

Monica,
Yes, it's the right lot, and confirmed by my Scottish relative. who now remembers them and where they lived - "a lovely villa at Tollcross - now replaced by a motorway".
Re: Mary Bone aka Bain. I now have a birth certificate showing that was indeed the daughter of Joseph Bain (coachman) and Margaret Ambrose, and as such the partner of John Macdonald b. 1858 and mother of John Macdonald b. 1883.
She later married a Robert McCosh on 14 Nov 1917 in Troon when she was a house-keeper and spinster. What is not clear is why she appears to have abandoned her son John to be brought up by his aunt Maggie Bain, when she could have taken him with her when she went to look after her brother John Bone’s children in Lochwinnoch.
As for the parents of John Macdonald snr. (b.1858) the quarryman, I have a birth register which names them as Charles Macdonald - ironstone miner and Elizabeth McDerment, but so far have drawn a blank on both of them.
Going back to the original string – Edward McMurchy - Neil Macdonald and Mysie (b.1842) McMurchy’s son Edward Macdonald was a highly-decorated sergeant in the Argyll and Sutherland Regt., being awarded the DCM and then later a bar to the same medal for his gallantry in September 1917.
best wishes,
David
