hi was wondering if any body can help me firstly is Rossshire the same as Ross & Cromarty.
if so i have a David Ross who appears on the 1881 census as being aged 51 in 1881. he was married to Helen (McGregor) can anybody find him on any previous census i would really like to know when he was born and who his parents are, but i have to start by confirming his place of birth via the census.
any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Yes, Ross-shire is the same as Ross and Cromarty. It stretches from one side of the country to the other. I live on the west side - see http://scotlandsfamily.com/parish-map-caithness.htm
Could you say where it says he was born on the 1881 and where he was living. Also, a list of his children's names in birth order might help with finding his birth.
Regards

PS there are 84 David Ross birth/baptisms 1828-1832 in Ross & Cromarty on the IGI

On the 1891, it says he is born Alness so I think that seems the location.
Do you know when he died? His death cert should give his parents' names.
