 rosie17 I've been flailing around in scotlandspeople and can't see where to look for Ref 787/A3 so I think I'll have to give up on that one!
Is Mary Agnes McKie his widow left behind?

If you go on to Scotlandspeople and search deaths put his name in and the year of death 1919 -1919 it will come up.
