It looks like Willie Elliot and Annie Elliot.

I was hoping it may have been a sibling that we could track down on the census.

There are a few John Wilsons who are tailors on the 1901 census but I can't see one with an Annie and son John

there is a 1901 census record for a John and Annie Wilson living in Aberdeen area with a son John of about the right age. But I checked for his sisters birth cert and the mothers maiden name isnt Gray so I dont think thats them.

Was the sister much older or younger than John? What was the date of her parents' marriage? Could she have been a daughter of John W by a different marriage, one wife having died? Where was the John of about the right age born, and why did you not look at his bc?

I just had a quick check to see if the family on the census was likely the same family, the sister was 2 years older I think, I couldnt find the Johns birth cert in the same area as the family were in the census but the sister was born in the area they were living in the census so was just easier to know that was them.  But dont think its posters family anyway after all that!
