Alexander & Agnes were probably brought up using their mother's new married name i.e. school, doctor. dentist to keep everything simple.
In later life when filling in docs. there are questions such as 'have you been known by any other name/surname'.
Those details e.g. when claiming state pension had probably been recorded from the 1939 register or somewhere so even if not actively using the surname McDougall by then, it was a name they'd been known by in the past i.e. recorded on their deaths.
