Come back to this thread Jamie when you have them (don't start another) and we'll see if there is anything more to help, but in the meantimes when and where did they die, even that may yield a clue.

I've had a reply (that was quick) from Scotland's People about the birth certificate. They sent me the correct certificate, but in a format that I can't open unfortunately.
The attachment arrived as - Saveimage (4). jfif. Have asked if they can send in any other format, but no reply as yet and their online link hasn't been updated. Will keep trying so don't waste credits on that.

In 1921, Andrew Ferrol born 1881 in Dumfries, is MARRIED

The assumption will have to be that Elizabeth took up with Stirling and started having children with him, having left behind her Ferrol offspring.

As well as Nancy's birth being shown with surname Stirling, and mmn Gunton, in New Cumnock, it's also listed as Nancy Ferrol, with Stirling as a middle name, with no mmn shown, a different reference number, and in Linlithgow:

FERROL
