WATSON JOSEPH - 63 - 1880 - 652/2 431 Old Monkland (Middle District) is the correct death for Joseph Watson.
I agree that Jane (DUSTAN JANE - 73 - 16/05/1854 - 168/B 210 584 Old Machar) is too old. Thanks. I had been looking at (DUSTAN JANE -16/05/1854 - 168/B 200 86 Old Machar), which doesn't give an age but which I think relates to the same death.
Joseph Watson's death certificate states he was the widower of his second wife Margaret Carruthers which is incorrect. It is strange and unusual but she was 30 years younger than Joseph when they married in Stranraer in 1857 (she was the sister of his son John Dustan Watson's wife Eliza Carruthers). She remarried twice 1) Henry Trentum in Glasgow 1/1/1869, with who she had 3 children and 2) James Monteith in Stranraer 29/9/1885 before her death in Kirkcaldy in 1903 (CARRUTHERS MARGARET - 61 - 442/41 Kirkcaldy and Abbotshall).
