there is this death on SP which may help you with search:

you will need to buy credits to view.

had a look on SP - there is a Catherine McMillan m.s cain 1876 but it isn't the right one as this one born 1852 married to Alexander.

will try to find her on 1881 census..

think this is her in 1891: Bridgton, Glasgow

Catherine McMillan 50  cotton mill worker   b. ireland
Daniel McMillan      31                               b. Dumbarton, renfrewshire
Catherine McMillan 27                               b. Glasgow
Robert McMillan  20                                           "
Maggie McMillan 16                                           "
Annie McMillan   13                                            "

think death Robert gave is wrong - this is the right one /area /after birth of Annie:

1879
MCMILLAN  ROBERT
M
49
BRIDGETON
GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 
644/01 0080

again you will need credits on SP to view fully.
