Have you checked censuses in case mother is with her in any of them?

Hi

If she is the Ann Philip who married David Page on 14 Dec 1826, then she probably died 1886, Kircaldy Auchterderran.

Scotlands people have the death registration for Ann Page, other name Philip, aged 82.

The full death cert might give you her mother's maiden name.

Another (and free way) might be to check for the names of her children. They might have used the traditional naming conventions.

I have from Auchtertool:

1829 - Thomas
1831 - George
1833 - Isabella
1838 - Christian

I think some may be missing. they don't seem to have had a Robert 

There is a possible banns/marriage on the IGI (extracted) for a Robert Philip to a Mary Cameron in  Kirkcaldy  on 20 July 1789

However, not all the marriages are in the OPRs for various reasons.

Hi

I missread  -- she died in the Auchterderran District but we are talking about the same person.

The various dates for marriage could well be Banns dates.
