1820's OPR Scotland birth states 2 names for father!?

In the Seaboard Villages to the east of Logie Easter, the people all had Gaelic family by-names as there were only half a dozen names. This could be the same as there are more Rosses there than you could shake a stick at.

Thanks to djct59
Your info about Loch Seir is really helpful - hopefully I can find a birth near Brucefield. Many thanks for taking the time to reply

Thanks to ghostwhisperer
The MI from Logie Easter helps rule out one William Ross - as he had a son Duncan; Mine had only one son - a David.  Thank you so much for the MI information - another piece of a huge Ross puzzle!

Thanks to Skoosh - the Gaelic name + surname makes perfect sense.  Thank you for the help

cnr,  I have some problematic Ross's myself in that neck of the woods, but spoiled for choice. A couple of sites here,
