cant find birth certificates

the marriage cert gives Marion's mother as Marion and shows her as deceased.

  That answers a lot, so Jane Ross where does she come in?

Thanks for all of that, some i knew a lot i didnt.  Hadn't thought of looking for marions siblings.  I think the Marion on the marriage cert. is wrong it was Jean (i said Jane earlier, sorry) on the census and on Marions death cert.

if I'm looking at the right Marion in 1851 - in Kilmaurs with father David and siblings, 2 of the siblings are enumerated as son by marriage - William McKenn? age 16 and David McKenn? age 5, so David would appear to have remarried since the birth of Marion. Wondering if the surname could be McKenna?

that would make sense, i found that census return, thought janet might be jean but couldnt work out where the mckennas came in.  im guessing jean died, havent found a cert. yet though.

there won't be a cert as it's before the start of civil registration in 1855. You may find a burial record although I can see that burial records for Kilmaurs for that period do not survive.

Given the names of his children, this looks a candidate for David's baptism

Residing at Farmfield, Kilmaurs

I think that's the wife from the 1851 census with her first husband, also David, just to confuse.

Janet Nisbet married David Brown in 1849 and in one of the later census entries, 1871 from memory, Agnes is with the Brown family.
