Hi

You haven't given any details of when he was born.  Have you looked for him on the 1901 census to establish his birthyear and birthplace?

Have you checked Scotlands People for a marriage for his parents?

Bit of guesswork here as there are several Isabella McDonald's b Inverness around the same birthyear

You will need to download a copy of the 1871 marriage cert to get her parents names - but if her father was Donald occ ships carpenter and if her mother was "Jess" then there is an 1851 entry for Renfrewshire showing her father was born Inverness and her mother Egypt

I see lots of McDowells in Kirkmabreck and at one point in Creetown.

Stephen has not responded to my last reply almost 2yrs ago so we are still none the wiser as to the 1871 marriage cert
