Hi Runtage
If I can suggest something. Flst found a birth for a son David to a couple with the right names in 1855. This was the first year of official registration in Scotland and for that year only, certificates ran over two pages of the register and included a wealth of additional info. For births, it will include very complete parents' details including where the parents were from, ages, occupation for father, where and when parents' married and how many children they'd had (alive/deceased, girls/boys). By 1856, the entries were down to one page with less information.
This certificate will let you verify that it is the right couple for your family and provide additional information that you many not easily find elsewhere.
The only 1861 entry that I can see with a son David born in Aberdeen City is this one:
Jane Riddle 49, head, Private Lodging House, b. Portsoy Banff
Alexander Riddle 18, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
William Riddle 10, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
James Riddle 8, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
David Riddle 5, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Alexander Laing 30, lodger
Alexander McDonald 16, lodger
Robert Reid 64, lodger
James Bennet 23, lodger
Address: 34 Shiprow, Aberdeen St Nicholas
Without being able to find the family in 1851, it is harder to be certain that this is them but the above entry is the only one showng for a David b. 1855 in St Nicholas Aberdeen in the 1861 census....so happens his mother is Jane!

 Found them in 1851...phew, took a while! All the children show as born in Aberdeen (City)
Alexander Reddel 46, mason, b. Foveran, Aberdeensh
Jean Reddel 39, b. Portsoy, Banffshire
Margaret Reddel 18
Mary Reddel 17
Jean Reddel 14
Ann Reddel 9
Alexr Reddel 7
George Reddel 5
William Reddel 11 Months,
Address: 11 Rennys Wynd, Aberdeen South
Possible christening entry for Alexander Snr.:
ALEXANDER RIDDEL Christening: OCT 1804 Foveran, Aberdeen
Parents:JOHN RIDDEL and MARGARET KELLY
They both look to have died after 1855, so you should be able to find Alexander and Jane's (Jean is a common variant) death certificates on Scotlands People, with the link that flst provided earlier. This will let you confirm their parents' names (if known to the informant).
