Donegal / Fields, McLaughlin, Speer of Clonleigh?

Ok, This is quite complicated. I am new at Irish research really and don't have a lot to go on. What i do have is this: My great grandfather David Fields was born in around 1900 and all i have to go on is in Ireland, somewhere! His parents are called John Fields and Elizabeth Speer and were married in Scotland in 1882, but are not found in the Scottish 1881 census and i cannot trace their births or deaths to Scotland either. The parents listed on their marriage certificate are Grace McLaughlin m John Fields and hers as Andrew Speer m Margaret McLaughlin although i'm not sure this is correct. Anyway, back to David, I know that David had a brother called John who, although i'm not sure where he was born, had at least 3 children in Scotland starting in 1907 and on the childrens birth certificates it says he was married on 14 July 1906 in Clonlee but i think they miss pelt Clonleigh? So they obviously came over to Scotland between July 1906 and October 1907 when child 1 was born. So i am thinking David possibly came with them and i am also thinking it is a big possibility that he was born in Clonleigh? I am so desperate for any pointers in the right direction as i have been working on this tree for a good couple of years now and this is the thing that has stumped me.
