Hi and welcome to rootschat ..it might be better mentioning a bit more like birth year /marriage
Who her parents were  what information you already have on her ..
There is a birth for a Ann McGregor Burness 1872 Fetteresso
Marriage to a James Petrie 1899 Fetteresso
Death 1913 St Cyrus
Would this be her ?  all these records can be found on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for a small fee
This will give you names of her parents

Parents appear to be David b 1826 Glenbervie and Jean b 1843 Ballater Aberdeen

David Burness married Jean McGregor 1873 Fetteresso - so Ann was born before the marriage

Won’t post full 1881 details until confirmation received

Robert Burns folk were from that neck of the woods & originally Burness! His father moved to Ayrshire from Clochnaben.

When I started tracing my ancestors from Auchmithie, Angus, in the early 1980s, I had a lot of help from Lawrence Ruxton Burness, keeper of the Wm. Coull Anderson library of genealogy in Arbroath. It may have been the only genealogy library in Scotland at that time, I'm not sure. Mr. Burness sent me family-trees of my Spink ancestors on sheets of paper gummed together concertina-fashion in those pre-internet days. One day I had the pleasure of meeting him in Register House in Edinburgh.
   
As you can see from his obituary below, he was descended from the grandfather of Robert Burns and was an expert on the Burns family. He is buried in Glenbervie churchyard in what is now Aberdeenshire but used to be Kincardineshire, in the Burnes enclosure.
