I will have to check that out! I just now paid for views, but lost the first one 5 credits as my java was not working and is still hesitating to load :-(

I am not really sure where to start and not waste my credits. Does the 1891 show her married to James Gillespie??

I believe they were of the free church. I looked for Robert Gillespie born 1789-1800 in Larbert, loanhead, lanark and Falkirk but the only one that showed was his cousin Robert Hutton Gillespie. This robert the son of William Gillespie and Margaret Hutton. So my Robert is the son of one of William's brother I think.
My earliest is Robert Gillespie born about 1791-1796 in Falkirk to Robert Gillespie (1768) of Falkirk and Margaret Millar of Carriden. He marries about 1817 to unknown woman and has Janet, Alexander, Margaret, Millar and David. In 1842 he marries Jean/Jane Melrose and has Catherine, John, Agnes and James. James is my ggrandfather. Robert dies 1868 in Falkirk Poor House. For info on my Gillespie family

I am very computer saavy, however I've lost 10 credits trying to get the document to view. I've downloaded prism for IE and also updated JR for Chrome. no luck. Frustrated.

1901 census gives her place of birth as Bo'ness, Linlithgowshire

Bo'ness is in the parish of Carriden.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Why don't you contact SP and explain the problem you've had in trying to view documents. They may well consider refunding the repeat credits (5 units) you have used trying to view the same document. Worth a try  :)

Sancti, I think your possible finds for grandparents and young Mary with them in 1871 are looking good!

The family you found and posted info on were headed up by a John Moffat Duncan and Helen Anderson. They look to have had a daughter called Mary (possible mother for Mary born in 1862?). This looks to be her entry https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTGN-XMR 

I like the address for this family you found Sancti in 1851:

John M Duncan 26 Coal & Ironstone Miner, b. Newton, Midlothian
Helen Duncan 30 b. Tyrone, Ireland
Mary Duncan 8 b. Cromwell Gate, p?shire
Marrion Duncan 6
John M Duncan 4
William A Duncan 1

Address: School House, Muirhouse, Carriden
