Hello Rootschatters,
I was hoping for some help with regards to finding out birth and death records for James Ross. Here is what I know of him:
He was born around 1864, son to James Henry Ross and Jane Johnston. I have no record for their marriage although both died in Abderdeen (Dec 1896 + Feb 1897).
In 1888 he married Williamina Kemp in Peterhead.
He is listed as being alive in 1906 on the event of his daughter's wedding.
His widow died in Glasgow 1929, thus he died somtime between 1906-29.
He is proving to be rather elusive.

Hi Windsor,
Seems he was born in St Fergus, Banffshire on the 9th of September 1864. There's a marriage for his parents (James Ross to Jean Johnston) on the 18th of June 1852 in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.
As for deaths, I think your best bet is looking in Aberdeenshire. I can't see any likely possibilities in the Glasgow area. Have you tried this one?
1917 ROSS JAMES M 54 ST NICHOLAS ABERDEEN CITY/ABERDEEN 168/01 0375

One of the bad points about having folk living on a boundary line that moves. So he was born in Banff, not Abderdeenshire.
I'll look up all of those.
Thanks again Hume!

The 1917 death is not him unfortunately, but it is his birth record.
His parents seem to think that they married some time in July 1852 in St Fergus.

Thanks genjen!
Looks like he confused the census people as well. St. Fergus is in Banffshire, not Aberdeenshire. Or perhaps he didn't know.
By the way, James and Williamina are my g g g grandparents.
Their daughter, Mary Bella (1889-1946), is my g g grandmother.
Thanks again.
Windsor

Sorry that the 1917 wasn't your James' death record. 
Here's some Glasgow area ones that might be him:
1918 ROSS JAMES M 53 DENNISTOUN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/04 1234
1921 ROSS JAMES M 59 GORBALS GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/17 0082

I'm afraid it was neither of them either.
I got excited when I saw Gorbals becuase that is where Williamina died in 1929. Her son Arthur, with whol I assume she was living, signed the register.
Thanks for looking though.

Hi Windsor,
He's certainly proving to be a tricky find.  Have you looked at any of his other children's marriages that may narrow down the date of death even more?

Hi Windsor,
Thought I would add a bit about St Fergus. Up until 1st May1891, St Fergus belonged to
Banffshire...after that it belonged to Aberdeenshire.

Looks like the census record will come in hand after all.
Elaine - I knew that the boundaries had changed at some point, but wasn't sure when or which way. Thanks.
