Hello,
Mary SHEARER married James MALCOLM 8 Apr 1815 Largs, Ayr
Margaret SHEARER married John MALCOLM 29 May 1819 Largs, Ayr
John and James are brothers and I've been trying to prove Margaret and Mary were sisters.
Margaret died before 1841 and this is a possible birth/baptism:
name: Margeart Shearer
gender: Female
baptism/christening date: 14 Jan 1787
baptism/christening place: , LARGS, AYR, SCOTLAND
birth date: 02 Jan 1787
birthplace:
death date:
name note:
race:
father's name: William Shearer
father's birthplace:
father's age:
mother's name: Margeart Wark
mother's birthplace:
mother's age:
indexing project (batch) number: C11602-2

reference number: 2:16G0KZS
Mary died in 1863 aged 69 and I now have a copy of her death certificate. Parents are listed as William SHEARER (...? builder) and Margaret SPEIRS.
So it seems we have 2x William in Largs. One marriage found so far:
