Father Hugh's death, possibly, although age is a few years out, compared with the censuses:

MCMULLAN
HUGH
53
1899
644/1 530
Bridgeton


The 1904 death for Bridget Killen posted by RG will be the correct one.
As is the case with Scottish deaths, she's listed under both her maiden and married surnames, where known:

MCMILLAN
BRIDGET
59
1904
644/1 1085
Bridgeton

The family seem to have changed from McMullen to the more Scottish-sounding McMillan, at some point between 1891 and 1901. (Maybe between 1899 and 1901, if that's Hugh's death above.)
