Success! Thank you so much ArgyllGran.
Jane Hunter daughter of George McFarlane soldier and Ellen McFarlane nee Harvie both deceased. This makes sense of her birth in Cadiz, Spain and now I have the correct names of her parents I might be more successful in finding a birth record.
She is also stated as being widow of William Hunter ship owner and General Merchant, William's occupation on 1861 census.
You've brought a big smile to my face! Thanks again.

well done ;I'll ask my sis if i can take another look at that scroll + see how far back it goes ..didn't look too close because was only trying to find out what relation the 1923 John Mc Farlane was but i know the Mcdermids did have a few marriages or connections further back too.
