Have you viewed the death for Margaret to rule it out mothers maiden name could be wrong perhaps the person who registered the death was unsure .I would be inclined to take a chance

There is certainly a record of Banns for Robert Neilson & Helen Duncan in Bothwell 27th March 1853 Gros Ref 625 40 / 273.
Searching for Margaret under her maiden name throws a blank with mothers maiden name of Duncan (the only Margaret Neilson that shows died in 1926 at age 28)Yes, I've seen many trees stating that the death year was 1930. Not sure if you are on Ancestry, but a lot on there state that d.o.d was 26th March 1930, however I cannot find a source and each tree i check refers to another tree.
Do these trees show a place of death.
You also have to remember that often Death Records are perhaps the least reliable when it comes to names - the information is only as good as the informants knowledge of the deceased.
Hi SkyeSpotter, I've seen the mother's maiden name, Duncan on a couple of different documents so I'm fairly sure. I've seen another family tree which notes the death year as 1930 but I've not been able to prove as there was no source cited. Unless the entry that you found is the correct person but maybe the informant provided the name McBride incorrectly. The 1861 census shows Robert and Helen as parents to Margaret and Janet and a son whose name is unfortunately not legible.
