The fact that we really have none of the family in 1871 would make you think they may have been outside of Scotland around that time, However, as we know, that is not a given... :-\ May explain though why you can't find Mary's death or the family in general for 1871 in Scotland.

We need Mary dieing in Scotland really though to have any chance of confirming her parents' names.

Are any of the children's christenings showing on the RC database on SP? Sometimes witnesses names can give clues to extended family for the parents.
