Title: Donald and Mary (nee Mackay)Ross
Post by: airdlass on Sunday 09 May 21 14:25 BST (UK)
I am looking for more information in particular a photo of Donald Ross who was born c1872 in Tain and died 1960 and his wife Mary who was born in 1873 in Achtoty Skerray Sutherland. Mary died in 1975 in Alness.They married in London in 1909. They had two sons John Donald who married Flora Stewart, and Archibald.
Mary was a sister of my great grandmother.

There are three birth registrations in Tain for Donald Ross on  https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
two 1871 & one 1872.

If the year of birth is correct on the census, they all appear in Tain in 1881. You can view the census for free on most sites or the original on SP above.
