Thank you so much for your reply !
I do recognize the inscription on the gravestone in the the Rosemarkie Parish cemetery. Donald Ross and Christina Bain were my great great grandparents.
I have not been able to locate the burial places of any of their children. Their two eldest sons, Donald and John both married Margarets. Donald (b 1815) at 62 yrs.) married a Margaret Sinclair (42yrs.) in the Fortrose Free Church in 1877 (she died in 1878 in Avoch Parish). Donald died in 1883 (69 yrs.) in Avoch Parish. (Inch Farm) He was farmer at Inch and Fortrose Farms. He included a gift toward the building of a manse for the Free Church in Fortrose in his will, so it seems he continued his association with that church.
John Ross (b 1818, Rosemarkie) married Margaret Fraser. They farmed at Whitebog, Cromarty Parish. I do not have a date or place of their marriage, nor any information re deaths or places of burial. John and Margaret had two daughters: Christina and Jessie. John is listed in the 1881 census, but only Margaret in the 1891 census, where she is now "widow" and "farmer", so it seems John died between 1881 and 1891. There is no listing for her at the farm in 1901.
A third brother, James, was at the Feddon Hill Farm in the census of 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871, but then disappears when Donald (brother) moves his place of residence to the Inch Farm in the 1881 census. I have been unable to find any record of place of residence for James after that, nor any record of his death. The families of Donald's other 3 siblings were remembered in Donald's will, including the youngest, Robert, my great grandfather, in Canada, which would suggest that James had predeceased his brother Donald.
I do appreciate any insight/information you might have.
