The OP was looking for a Matilda Ross born in Scotland. Here's a link to brother's household in 1911 which includes their mother and another sister-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Lough_Enagh/Stradreagh_Beg/598961
However, since mother & sister both born Co.Derry then perhaps Matilda Ross was also born in Ireland rather than Scotland.

Ross James of Stradreagh Lough Enagh county Londonderry farmer died 23 June 1940 Administration Londonderry 27 June to Elizabeth Murray Ross the widow. Effects £869 10s.

I have been researching the Watterson family. I have a Joseph Watterson who  married Matild a Ross Dec 22, 1896 in First Presbyterian Church, Parish of  Glendermot, Co Derry, Ireland with her father named as James. Matilda died Sept 19,1906 and I don't find Joseph in 1911. Maybe he went to Scotland as I don't find his death in Ireland either.

I have now found Joseph Watterson, spelled Waterson, on the 1911 census with 3 of his children May aka Lydia Mary, Joseph and Bella aka Jeannie Maud Isabel.  the oldest daughter, actually a twin, died in 1906, Rachel Clarke aka Ella.
