Looks like prior researchers think that it's William Watson Burns and Elizabeth Gabbie. You will need more than just the FamilySearch tree to confirm this though, but it's a good starting point for further research.

According to this death record for a child, that says he was born in Ireland.https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JDD6-T3B
