My GGGrandfather Ross always gives his place of birth on Census as "Tain".Now I know his parentage-Isabella McPherson& William Ross-shepherd.Their are swathes of Ross' around the place & I am trying to pinpoint his siblings.Two signed his Marriage Certificate in 1870-Robert Ross & Isabella RossI have always just presumed they were sibs as their parents names are the same.However I have two David Ross's on the IGI to the same parents -one in Daviot & Dunlichity where his apparent sibs are born too& one born in Tain-1837& the Daviot one in 1838 which if it was reversed would presume that the 1837 one had died & they had recycled the name.There could have two Davids I suppose too.
Anybody suggest anything as I have spent a fortune on SP trying to track down a siblings Death to check Father's occupation.
As I remember too from my way back lost research the brothers,sister followed each other from East Greenock -Wellington St where David married Robina McDowall to Govan where they lived on the same st.
If they were indeed siblings then I have a contact who has submitted info to the IGI & he lives in Scotland & I have written but am impatiently awaiting a reply!
Hope this all makes sense as I am driving myself insane with this lot.
