I have found an MI for both Margaret and Thomas.
Margaret's reads:
Sacred to the memory of Margaret McNay died 18.1.1921. Agnes Catherine McNay died 16.2.1931

And next to them Thomas's reads:
Dr McNay, J.P. In loving memory of my dear husband Thomas McNay died at Dalveen, Larkhall 22.1.1943. Also his wife Agnes McNay died 27.5.1979
Hope this helps

Hi PP

I wonder if the transcription for Thomas's headstone may have been misread as he married an "Ann S" not an Agnes. Scotland's People also show the death as Ann McNay in 1979.

Thought it might be of interest.

Many thanks again

Phil

Agnes and Ann are interchangeable, see:

I expect she was 'officially' Ann, but known as Agnes.

Checked the photograph available from LFHS and the name is Anne S. McNay

Looks like a transcription error
