Thanks for that at least another one ruled out as for the McFarlane have checked for Ogilvie McFarlane marriage in case she was married before although it says spinster on her marriage nothing there are a few starting from 1871 incase her mum married a McFarlane   after she was born but still doesn't explain why I can't find a Susan Ogilvie birth
The only thing I  can think of is she was "adopted" herself and Susan wasn't the name she was registered with can't even find her before 1901 in the census

You have two marriage records, 1897 and 1902.

Can you please list all the details on each certificate please.

Can you please give all the information on the 1902 record. What address do you see for Alexander and for Amelia. I am looking for Amelia in 1901 census.

Witnesses might be  Archibald LORNE and Jeannie McGUIRE. I cannot see him on the 1901 census. Does he sign on the record?

"Brides Ellen Muir domestic servant deceased adopted by William Spencer tailor and Susan Spencer formally McFarlane MS Ogilvie"

Am I reading this correctly...Amelia's mother was Ellen Muir and...
Ellen Muir was adopted by "William Spencer" & "Susan Spencer formally McFarlane MS Ogilvie"

the only Amelia Spencer in 1901 is in Dunoon Argyll age 16 and can see no births for Amelia Spencer's born between 1880 and 1890 haven't looked at this yet but guessing this is her

I think that is formerly rather than formally, and that terminology sometimes indicates that she was first married to a Mr McFarlane then to William Spencer. However it can also indicate a change of surname for another reason so it could well be that she is the one registered as Susan McFarlane.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
