I found a sister of David's on familysearch. Elspet,born circa 1834 married James McIntosh 20th June 1856 at the Free Church,Alves. If you look up the marriage details on scotlandspeople it should state whether her parents were still alive,& the witnesses may also give a clue to her heritage. Likewise,the information on David's marriage certificate (2 months later) should help. Did Janet's name appear as m.s.Burgess? If not this may indicate that Thomas & Janet were n't married.I'd a look for them on freecen but could n't find them.
