Norrie thank you for the lookup for George & Margaret.  Although they had many children there were a lot of infant deaths.  The only ones that I have info for are Grace/Grizel who married Colin Pitblado;  Margaret married William Drysdale & George's spouse was Euphemia Hutton.  I  do not have any death dates.

Hi Norrie - Thank your for the photo of the headstone.  Some years ago on a visit to Scotland I took photos of three headstones - 1. Colin & wife Jean & daughter Jeanie  [my direct line]  2.  Mary Smith. Robert and George, sons of George    3.  Ann Gray, wife of George and Joseph Morrison.    Unfortunately I lost them in a house fire and I was hoping that they would be in your inventory as I doubt I will be making another trip [getting  old!!]  The parents  Robert and Helen are buried in the old part of the cemetery which is usually locked and there is no headstone.  They were in the 1881 census on Golfdrum Street - they died in 1884 n and 1887.  Also Ann, wife of George was at 54 Moodie Street with her three children.  Colin \was in Glasgow [Govan] 
Regarding the dates re William I believe William died 15 Nov 1927 which ties in with the age of 75 and his estimated 1852 birth date.  Thomas-birth date of Oct 1884' Nelly listed as being born in 1891' George born May 1896 -   Jane - have her birth date 1854 and her death date as you have indicated.
The photo of William's headstone is much apprecited.

Hi Diddy - Have been to SP searching for Janet Maule in that time period but only came up with one born in 1796 in Perth; did not find a death.  Those  searches were in 2007 & 2005 so guess I will return to SP for further searches.  Found the two you indicated in IGI.  GGrandfather's death cert [born in Inverkeithing, Fife, died in Dunfermline] indicates his parents were Janet Maule & Thomas Morrison but cannot find a marriage for them.

Thanks Jacci for this information-Georage Paterson 1813 is mine & I had this as well as Jean.  However all the rest of the details are new - it is always good to fill in another few blanks on my tree.  Jeannie

I have JEAN PHILP born 1753 in Torryburn or Culross, Fife, married  to GEORGE PATERSON, born 1763 in Torryburn.
