I can not locate Margaret in either the 1901/1911 census.  Although there is one Margaret that would fit in  Co Tyrone, mother-in-law born in Co LDerry, but I can't link the family of Marshalls, to the Walkers. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tyrone/Carrickmore/Carrickmore_Town/1748052/   
This Margaret Walker can also be ruled out- her husband was a shop-keeper called Henry Walker according to daughter's marriage to George Marshall-

Margaret was born Abt 1828, she married John Walker on 2 December 1847 in the Parish of Banagher, Co LDerry. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1847/09336/5380651.pdf
narrowing the date down, when her husband died he was married.
John Walker died on the 7 Dec 1895 • Townland of Glasvey, Tamlaght finlagan, Londonderry,

Their eldest daughter Mary Jane HANNAH died in 1929 - 77, REILLY, F, 1929, 644 / 14 / 143 MARYHILL - Death certificate on Scotland's People recorded that both parents were dead by 1929.
Have you searched for Margaret in 1901/1911 and a death registration in Scotland?
There's no firm evidence yet that Margaret was alive when her husband John Walker died in 1895. She could have died much earlier, John remarried and he was survived by the second wife. Equally possible is that Margaret could have been alive in 1895 but remarried before 1901 census.

Found the illusive death certificate. Although it is very hard to read. Margaret Walker wife of John Walker, Farm Labourer.  Died 10 April 1903.  The next bit is the time of death.  Residence 57 Arden Street?  Glasgow?  Female, 62 years,  PARENTS James Reilly and Jane Reilly (probably did not know maiden name of mother)  both deceased.  Cause of death Gastric Ulcer, Fractured Femur.  Probably from a fall.

Can anyone read the name under James Reilly.

Thanks Aghadowey for all the information.

Any chance of putting this entry up without maximising it which makes it pixelate and more difficult to read ie just as you copied it at 1:1 ratio please.

James Reilly, deceased, hoping word I can not read is a Townland in the Parish of Banagher or Cumber Upper in the County of Londonderry.

The words you cannot read are 'Farm Labourer'
