Hi Michael

The children showing for this couple on IGI, including an Alexander:

1. HUGH BAIN  Birth: 23 MAR 1840 Christening: 06 APR 1840 Inverness, Inverness, Scotland
2. ISABELLA BAIN Birth: 25 JUN 1855 Inverness, Inverness, Scotland
3. WILLIAM BAIN Birth: 03 OCT 1841 Christening: 04 OCT 1841 Inverness, Inverness, Scotland
4. GEORGE MC DONALD BAIN Birth: 28 APR 1858 Inverness, Inverness, Scotland
5. ALEXANDER BAIN Birth: 16 DEC 1843 Christening: 25 DEC 1843 Inverness, Inverness, Scotland

This could be James and Margaret in the 1841 Census from FreeCen:

BAIN James, 25,   Journeyman Joiner b. Outside Census County         
BAIN Magt, 20, b. Outside Census County        
BAIN Hugh, 1, b. Inverness-shire            
BAIN Donald, 30, Journeyman Carpenter, b. Inverness-shire    
Address: Kings Street, Inverness-Inverness-shire

Just some ideas for gathering more info:

1. If you look at the family's entry for the 1851 census, you can find out where James and Margaret were born, as they both show as being born outside of Inverness-shire in the 1841 Census.
2. There is a death entry In Inverness, Inverness-shire on Scotlands People, the official pay to view BMD and Census site, for a Margaret Bain, other name McDonald, in 1895  with a birth year of 1818. If you decide to view it, it will confirm that it's the correct Margaret and give you her parents. Also you can find out whether James is deceased or still alive to help you search for his death cert (and parents).
3. There is an 1855 birth cert showing for Isabella. 1855, the first year of official registration in Scotland is the best year for certs. For one year only the certificates ran over two pages, including a wealth of additional info. Normally, for birth certs that year, you can find out where the parents were born/ages, how many children they had had, marriage date etc.

Regards.

From the 1881 Census, this could be Margaret Bain, already a widow:

BAIN Margaret, widow, annuitant, age 60, b.  Applecross, Ross & Cromarty
BEATON Joana, g/daughter, age 4, b. Applecross, Ross & Cromarty

Address: 36 Rose Street, Inverness, Inverness-shire

There are only two entries for Margaret Bain age 60-65, in Inverness for the 1881 Census, the other Margaret shows as born in Inverness-shire.
