Yes you are in the right area

Most of the records have the couple as William Turnbull & Joan Gourlay   - the redpath seems to be drop after she married the couple were married 16 Mar 1866 yetholm
(the dropping the redpath could suggest there may be an issue regarding the relationship of her parents)

The could are buried at eckford William died 1917 at Eccles bankhead & Joanna
died 1900 at cessford

The stone mentions three sons which died in infancy a Walter,George & william

Found some of their kids in the records
James g born 1873 eckford
Janet born 1868 yetholm
John born 1870 yetholm
Jane born 1866 westruther
Annie born 1871 yetholm
Plus more

Look at naming pattern William's parent could be john & Janet and joanna's could be james & jane

If I find anything else I'll let you know
