⚠ Age does not quite fitThe age reads 54, which would put his birth around 1851 to 1852. The GEDCOM and the Girvan baptism give 17 Nov 1849, which would make him 56. The digits are hard to read, so this may be a misreading or an error in the register.

ℹ Mary was alive in 1891Mary (Macmillan) is here, aged 40 and born at Johnstone. By 1901 Thomas is a widower, so she died between 1891 and 1901.

Only Agnes and Robert live with their parents in 1891. The others may have been out working or placed elsewhere, or the tree may have merged two families.
