Which is correct, Margaret or Mary? -
"Jessie Amos age 21, d/o Henry James Amos and Mary Thomson "
"the family of Henry James Amos and Margaret Thomson "
Or has Jessie been confused about her mother's name?
====================
Checking on Scotland's People, there is a Herbertson m Thomson in 1857; BUT have you VIEWed the Scanned IMAGE to get the names of the parents of the Groom and Bride, to help confirm identities?
====================
There is an 1891 Death for a Jessie Amos or Murray, born 1853 - again worth VIEWing the Details.
====================
On the LDS Family Search site, there are those two children of Hemry Hame Amos and Mary Thomson-
76. JANE AMOS - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Female Birth: 12 MAY 1844 Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
77. DAVID HENRY AMOS - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Birth: 17 FEB 1847 Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
So you should be able to locate them in the SP OPR Section.
None recorded with wife Margaret!
I wonder if Jane "massaged" her age later?
Check in the 1851 and 1861 Censuses particularly, as there is only one Henry Amos of the likely age range, 34 in 1851 and 44 in the 1861.
=============
Some more massaging or is it a different person?

1. HENRY JAMES AMOS - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Christening: 28 FEB 1809 Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland

========================
There are two Deaths for the name Henry Amos, with the Birth year around the likely decade, so again probably worth VIEWing the Scanned IMAGEs.
It may be worth looking for a Marriage for the 1851 Census Margaret Amos; and also Deaths.
Looks as though you will have to do some digging then compare the Details from the different and differing records.
