Hi

FamilysearchIGI have the indexes for Scottish Births & Marriages 1855 to 1875 transcribed from the Statutory Registers. They show William Dow born Port of Menteith 5th Nov 1859 father Archibald Dow mother Jane Hands, (probably a mistranscription of Sands).
There is also a Jane Sands Dow born Port of Menteith 8th May 1855 father Archibald mother Jane Sands.
Copies of both birth registrations can be downloaded from Scotlandspeople.

Did William marry in Scotland? If so, his marriage registration should have both parents.
