maybe the 1911 Census would help with the Surname and Placename. Is there an online 1901 or 1911 census for Scotland like we have for Ireland?

Yes, there is. The 1911 census was released only a few months ago and is only available to view on the pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

There are only two James Bonn*r (spelt either with an a/e) showing in Port Glasgow for 1911 over the age of 30 - two more under the age of 30.

There is a connection with America here as well.
