In the 1841 census on the same page as her son Andrew is listed a Margaret Smith (often Scottish ladies revert to their maiden name when widowed). Her age was 75 (75-79) or born between 1762 and 1766. 

   It is most likely that Margaret Smith was born in Longforgan in 1765 to Andrew Smith and Cecilia Smith.  Her parents names are clearly repeated in those names of her children.

   Marriage: A review of the FHL film 1040134 of the Marriage Register in the Church at Rattray gives the marriage date as 1786.  The IGI has 1783 as the date.  This would appear to be an error in the IGI. There are two entries that relate: Augt 26, 1786 - William Spalden in Bonetown and Mar Smith in Glenbulloch gave up their for proclamation.
   Augt 26, 1786 - William Spaden in Bonngton and Margaret Smith in Glenialloch gave in their namers for proclamation.
