The marriage certificate of Isabella Mcrae and Alfred Courage, 29 Jan 1886, which ev and I looked at a while ago, has Isabella's parents as both still alive and Roderick's occupation stated as general labourer.
Could you go back to your brother in law and mention that he's got the wrong death. Also the information that i gave you yesterday about Donald Mcrae and Ann Forsyth will not apply to this family.

There is a possible death for Janet/Jessie McLennan, Dingwall 1909.
So far, I can't find a possible death for Roderick.

The 1909 (January 29th) death for Jessie/Janet must be correct as it lists her as being married to Roderick McRae, thatcher - which he was in 1881. She died at the address listed on the 1891 census - 14 Mill Street, Dingwall. Unfortunately, the informant was a John Fraser, grandson and gave no information about her parents except that they were McLennan

Hi Gadget,
I'm a bit confused. Who were William Drummond, Married, Elizabeth Burr: and Henry Drummond, married Isabella Thomson ? I can"t seem to place them in their right order.
We plan on going to Scotland's People.....Thank you, our family is delighted !!
Regards, Dru.

Hi Dru
William Drummond and Elizabeth Burr were George Drummond's father - George was Alex Drummond's father.
Your chart would go something like this:
William Drummond = Elizabeth Burr John Kelman = Isabella Reaper = ? Robertson
| |
George Drummond = Ann Kelman
|
Alexander Irvine Drummond
I don't know believe that Henry and Isabella are the same family. I thought that they might be but I can't see a link.

Hi Spec
It's a bit difficult - I can't find a death for your real Roderick yet - I've had a look and it seems that he might have been alive when Jessie died but 
I'll keep looking for you. This shoud give his parents. Ages on the censuses are a bit hit or miss - our ancestors weren't always too helpful! The only consistent thing is that he was born Fodderty.
It must not be nice to find that the death/tombstone is not the correct one. I used what you said about the 1871 death and then I didn't feel it fitted somehow - maybe 6th sense - and then found that it was the wrong one
