Hi Lynn, I've had a quick look and though there are several stones for Whitelaw and Prentice none are your Margaret. This could mean that the stone was unstable or vandalised so taken down, or indeed there may never have been a stone. However, you know where the plot is so you could try South Lanark...

The two stones are side by side and part of each in each photo, with Anne S McNay (note: Anne with an e) in...

I would also check out the licensing - you can buy a single user license, but Microsoft often allow installation on a Primary PC (desktop PC) and a mobile PC (Laptop), then again both PCs could be laptops or desktops, the idea being if you are using one PC you won't be using both at the same time.
