MIght just be a co-incidence with the surname Davidson and that other death entry. Jane's 1891 census entry shows son William as Bonnyman (maybe born illegitimate but went by reputed father's surname in later years?). This is the entry for 1891:

William Bonnyman 65, farm overseer b. Kildrummy, Aberdeenshire
Jean Bonnyman 36, daughter, Dairymaid (Dom Serv), b. Towie, Aberdeenshire
Louisa Strachan 9, granddaughter b. Leochel Cushnie, Aberdeenshire
William Bonnyman 5, grandson b. Tough
George Clarck 22, farm servant

Address: Barnyards, Alvah, Banff

Hopefully father's name will help you confirm which is the correct death entry to let you work back to her family if this is what you are also looking to do  :)

And possibly Jane's 1861 census entry which may give you her mother's name - a bit of a mess on the transcription of the surname Bonnyman. All the children born in Towie:

James Wilkie 86, Chelsea Pensioner & Grocer, b. Lochell Cushrie, Aberdeenshire
Ann Wilkie 63 b. Auchindoir, Aberdeenshire
William Bruegman 35, ploughman b. Kildrummy, Aberdeenshire
Margaret Bruegman 33 b. Coul, Aberdeenshire
Ann Bruegman 10
Jane Bruegman 7
Mary Bruegman 4
Helen Bruegman 2
Feamle Infant 1 Month

Address: Boat Of Drummalachie, Towie

Can't make out the relationship of William to the head of the household James Wilkie. Transcribed as Wifes Ilgtbon  :-\

Back to the surname Davidson  ;D Mother Margaret's maiden name, from the birth entries for the children is showing as Davidson!

You hopefully have enough there to be able to confirm the right entry for Jane's death  :)
