The maiden name looks like Mc something Mclnan, but that doesn't make sense.

Just looking on sites and McInan is a name, so the third letter could be a capital i rather than an l?

Possibly McAnan ?  SP gives 6 examples of this name in the 1861 census - all in Edinburgh.

Could be McEwan.

It might help if you posted the whole thing.  We need to see more of the person's handwriting in order to compare how they form their letters.

The death certificate is for James Dunbar, my 2nd great grandfather. Certificate number 565/00 0036. Full certificate was too large to send. Not sure how else I can post. James was married to Mary Jane McCambridge and died aged 56 at Crosslee in the Parish of Houston and Killellan, Renfrewshire. It is the names of Jame's parents I am really looking for. If someone can tell me how to send the full certificate I would appreciate your help.
Thank you again.
