AAh so we have the correct family then, that was a stroke of luck.  ;D  Details above on the find a grave entry for Agnes Downie Thomson - presume she stayed unmarried.

Regiment Name Royal Light Infantry.  Its lists Archibald (was a small holder) - Janet Thomson, Christopher John Thomson, Agnes Downie Thomson, Mary Latmer (probably means Latimer) Thomson, Walter Thomson, Annie MacDonald Thomson and Margaret Thomson.
