Hi John

A few more questions  Roll Eyes

~ Have you found Donald and Martha in the 1901 census to confirm his place of birth
~ What was his mother Jessie's maiden name from his marriage cert
~ What was his age at the time of his marriage
~ What was his father's occupation from his marriage cert (also, did both mother and father show as alive or deceased)

There is one possible birth showing in 1867 Inverness with mother down as Jessie Forbes.

Regards.
