There is a death of a George Horner, aged 23, in Loudoun, Ayrshire, in 1905. Have you checked that?
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.

There is a marriage of a William Gault/Galt Smith age 43, widower and a Margaret Parker Stout age 25.  Was his parents on the marriage to Frances William Galt Smith and Margaret now Cunningham ms Navin?

So sometime from the date of the last child born until 1920 so she died. The 1911 Census might help to narrow the search.

Oh dear :( So you can't even tell them you have a problem.

There looks to have been at least one child, like his dad, called William Galt Smith born 1906 in Kilmarnock.

William, husband of Francis, looks to have died in Dennistoun in 1957. Death details showing as:

William Smith
Register Type: Burial
Burial or Cremation Date: 18 Aug 1957
Burial or Cremation Place: South Lanarkshire, Scotland

Thank you Forfarian yes George Horner who died in 1905 was Frances's brother .
I could only find one Frances on the 1911 census whose age  did fit 34 she was born in 1879 unfortunately the son William on it was aged 11 and hers wasn't born until 1906 .
On the census she was married 17 years had 9 children and only 5 survived they weren't married until 1906 which I know doesn't go for anything I've found a lot of little white lies in my research
