I think it unlikely that Margaret (born 1789) married Robert Perrie (born 1826) and had a son (Alexander Bennett Perrie) in 1857. Margaret would have been 68 at that date. Michael
Margaret Young (Young-28866) is said to have been born at Stotfield on 11 Jun 1789, but to have been the daughter of another Margaret Young (Young-56843), born in 1821 in Buckie, herself apparently married to John Young (Young-10772), born in 1767 and who died at sea on 25 Dec 1806.
It may be as simple as an accidental transposition of the two Margaret Youngs, but without source references it's hard to be sure.
It's not clear why Margaret Edward (Edward-177) b. 24 Feb 1767 was removed as this Margaret Young's mother - see
"Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQ7H-47M : 16 September 2021), Margt. Edward in entry for Margaret Young, 1789.
which indicates that Margaret Young was born on the 6th and christened on the 11th Jun 1789 in Drainie - the parish which includes Stotfield to John Young an Margaret Edward.
