I have Samuel Meuross 1769-1837 from Shotts and his wife Grace Douglas 1769-1853. Would appreciate any info on their lineage

I can't help with their parents, but their daughter Grace married George Cowan Waddell, who is not related to me as far as I know, and their daughter Mary Cowan Waddell married William Wotherspoon, who was my 3rd cousin twice removed. I have some information about their descendants.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
