You need to provide context. Where, what, when is the document that it comes from.

Possibly death cert for Ellen’s father, George McWhinney (age 68)
1907 Bridgeton   
ref 644 / 1 / 968
Mother - Johnston

(The age is wrong, as we have his marriage in 1848, but that is not unusual for death certs.)

In the 1901 census 68 Main St, Calton, Lanarkshire
Ellen and James are still living together as a "married couple", with Ellen’s father.

•   James Burratt 42 Head, Born Ireland , labourer
•   Ellen Burratt 46 wife, Born Ireland, Sewing machinist
•   Geo McWhinnay 64 Father-in-law, Born Ireland
•   Liza Brown 29 visitor, Born Ireland, cotton drawer


By 1911 census, Ellen is back to using her WEBB surname, so James must have moved on.
No evidence that James and Ellen ever married, and no children born to them.

Ooooh, Daisy!, that does look very good.
Needs further investigation.

Transcription on Scotlands People has Eli Webb Barrett, George Webb Barrett, etc.
Ages, places of birth, and occupation for Eli all fit.

1891 death in Partick, Lanark 
Ann Cook / Ann Flavel - age 73 ( age is obviously not correct)
Mother – McKnight

There’s a death in 1884 Partick for a William Flavell that might be worth looking at.
The age of 60 will not be correct (error by informant)
Mother - Culbert

Scottish marriage and death certificates will give you names of both parents. If you don't have them, they can be downloaded from Scotlands People. Names of witnesses on these documents can also be extremely useful in research.
Other, than that, look at census records for your ancestors.
