This is the family that you want:

1881

8 Grant Street, Dingwall

Roderick McRae, 58, House Thatcher, b. Fodderty
Jessie, 57, b. Lochbroom
Bella, 19, b. Rosskeen

There is a possible death for Janet/Jessie McLennan, Dingwall 1909.

So far, I can't find a possible death for Roderick.

In 1891:

14 Mill Street, Dingwall

Roderick McRae, 71, Agricultural Labourer, b. Fodderty
Jessie, 60, b. Lochcarron

The 1909 (January 29th)  death for Jessie/Janet must be correct as it lists her as being married to Roderick McRae, thatcher - which he was in 1881. She died at the address listed on the 1891 census - 14 Mill Street, Dingwall. Unfortunately, the informant was a John Fraser, grandson and gave no information about her parents except that they were McLennan

       Hi Gadget,
           I'm a bit confused. Who were William Drummond, Married, Elizabeth Burr: and Henry Drummond, married Isabella Thomson ? I can"t seem to place them in their right order.
           We plan on going to Scotland's People.....Thank you, our family is delighted !!
               Regards, Dru.

Hi Dru

William Drummond and Elizabeth Burr were George Drummond's father - George was Alex Drummond's father.

Your chart would go something like this:

William Drummond = Elizabeth Burr        John Kelman  = Isabella Reaper = ? Robertson

                               |                                           |
     
                               George Drummond     =     Ann Kelman

                                                            |
                                 
                                                   Alexander Irvine Drummond
                           


I don't know believe that Henry and Isabella are the same family. I thought that they might be but I can't see a link.

Hi Spec

It's a bit difficult - I can't find a death for your real Roderick yet - I've had a look and it seems that he might have been alive when Jessie died but 

I'll keep looking for you. This shoud give his parents. Ages on the censuses are a bit hit or miss - our ancestors weren't always too helpful!  The only consistent thing is that he was born Fodderty.

It must not  be nice to find that the death/tombstone is not the correct one. I used what you said  about the 1871 death and then I didn't feel it fitted somehow - maybe 6th sense - and then found that it was the wrong one
