Margaret Muckarsie/Muckersie and several other variants was born on 5th March 1836 in Collessie, Fife. She was the daughter of Richard Muckarsie (b abt 1809) and Mary Douglas (b 17 Dec 1805). Margaret had an illegitimate son James born 1 Aug 1859 in Edinburgh. The father was John Mowat a gamekeeper (b abt 1835) from Wick, Caithness.
After the birth of James, mother and son seem to disappear. John Mowat marries Elizabeth Watson on the 3rd Mar 1865 in Dunmore, Airth, Stirling.
James changes his name sometime later to James Mowat (shown on marriage certificate) and marries Jane Smart (b 5 Jan 1859) on 8 Oct 1880 at Ladybank, Collessie, Fife.
James and Jane are my wife's Great grandparents.
Any clues to Margaret's whereabouts after 1st August 1859 would be most helpful!
I tried this before but for some reason the topic was locked and no one could reply.
If the same happens again please PM me so I can get it fixed.
Cheers,

EDIT to add

Thank you for posting this info about Margaret Muckersie. We really appreciate it.
My wife did find it in 2017 which was 6 years after I first posted but it is appreciated as she may not have found it
-
I was interested in the Muckersie family, because they appear in my DNA matches and I have no idea how we are connected.

Oh wow!
Barbara, my wife is a direct descendant of Margaret Muckarsie. Margaret's father Richard married Mary Douglas. Richard and Mary had 7 children between 1834 and 1848. The grandparents of Richard and Mary are as follows:
McCarsie (another spelling), Black,
Forbes, Mather, Douglas, Bruce, Campbell and Gulland
The only line back from there is a Michael Muckarsie marrying Elspet Urquhart in Abdie, Fife on 18 December 1741. That is as far as Leslie has gone on that line. Due to many other lines and not as much time to spend on them as she would like.
So do any of those surnames match yours?
Richard and Mary's daughters married the following:
Margaret m Sutherland
Euphemia unknown
Ann m Bruce
Elisabeth m Gibson
Mary m Speed
