Hi Audrey,

I had a look at SP for you and it appears your little Margaret McLurg died in 1881 (must have been after April) in Dalziel.  You can get the certificate from SP if you have credits and want to have a look - or you can get a free 10 credits via the link in this thread:

Good luck with your research.
