Ayrshire / Re: Jackson Family (St Quivox Ayr)

I have the John Jackson death cert from 1893 mentions Margaret Bryson like everyone else seems to have.

The only other records I have are:

1859 Death Cert for Margaret Jackson ms Bryson wife a house painter in the District of Anderton in the Burgh of Glasgow. Son John Jackson was the infromant. Her father is listed as William Brsyon and mother as Margaret "maiden name unknown to informant"  Her age is listed as 39 but I've seen plenty of documents where some people's ages are all over the place so I don't always go by that.

1889 Death Cert for John Jackson widower of Mary Bryce living in the District of Calton in the Burgh of Glasgow. Age is listed as 71. Father is William Jackson and mother is Agnes ms Irvine. Informant is daughter Catherine Baris or Paris.

Am I totally off the mark?  As we've all seen ages and surnames are often different on documents so is this a possibility here? I would love to know what others think.

I guess I'm the stupid one because I still don't see how Mary/Margaert Bryson turned into Mary/Margaret Whitten. I've seen the birth records from St Quivox and how do we know for sure that's the correct John Jackson? There certainly is plenty of them in Ireland, Scotland, and England all married to a Mary/Margaret. According to the 1871 Scottish census John Jackson married to Mary with children Robert, William, Joseph, Matthew, James, and Cornelius was born in Newton on Ayr, not St. Quivox (they're about 3 miles apart.) Am I being too picky about location?

What other records is the name Margaret Whitten mentioned? Perhaps I missing those records and that's why I'm so wrong?

There is a Margaret Bryson born in Irvine, Ayr (11 miles from Newton) in 1795, couldn't that be the Margaret Bryson listed on the death record John Jackson in 1893?

And can anyone explain why on the birth record for Joseph Jackson born in 1856 it says "Robert Robertson inmate present" under "signature, qualifications, and residence of informant, if out of the house in which trhe birth occurred"?

I'm a descendant of John Jackson born 1843, his son Matthew was my great grandfather. Would love to compare notes with you Kingseat.
