Can anyone help

[MonicaL]

Also, there is a family tree on a/try that you could check (you need a subs to view it www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/28350218/person/12037695199/facts?ssrc=

They show another potential sister called Jane/Jean (common first name variants) born c. 1794 in Glencairn. Jane is listed as having married twice, a Joseph Milligan and then an Alan Burgess.
Her death is showing as being on 19 Dec 1878 in Balmaclellan, Kirkcudbrightshire.

No details on her parents included unfortunately 

Not sure how you can verify that these two women, Margaret and Jane, are sisters to your William. Sometimes occupation on a death cert for a father can help. If it shows as agricultural labourer...not a lot of comfort there really

Thank you for that information. I have seen this Margaret come up in a few searches that i have done. I think that she may well be William's sister. Will have to look into her history and see if it matches his, then maybe I can find a bit more info on their parents.
Thank You

A death recorded in Scotland in 1878 would normally include both parents names?

[MonicaL]

Yes, it would. As long as informant to the death knew that information to give to the registrar.
