There is a David M Sturrock age 1 born Dundee in the 1881 Dundee census. Parents are William Sturrock and Catherine A Sturrock nee Duncan who married in Dundee in 1871.

yeah i seen the Donald manson and Janet Alexander i just need to confirm if it's them because i can only find one daughter which is Donaldina but she was a twin (Janet Alexander manson)

There are consecutive births in Kirkcaldy in 1920 for Donaldina and Janet Alexander Manson pointing to twins. Both women show mother’s maiden name Alexander on the SP death index. Donald Manson and Janet Manson nee Alexander look very likely to be the parents given the the names of the two girls. Why do you say you can only find Donaldina?

on the index for 1911 living with Donald and Janet are John age 7, Jessie age 6 and Barbara age 4
There is a birth of a John Dunnet Manson born 1904 Dysart there is also a birth of a John Dunnet A Manson born 1911 also in Dyasrt can't see a death for a john Manson in that time frame so possibly a cousin

Can't see a Jessie/Janet but there is a Barbara born 1906 in Wemyss

Janet Alexander Manson is the next one registered after Donaldina  Donaldina ref number is 442/56 and Janet is 442/57  on Scotlands People

yeah i found it now i only know of janet and donaldina i dont't if they had any other siblings

[Wendy2305]

There are 8 deaths Manson with mothers ms Alexander not all siblings of Donaldina between 1974 and 2018 but one or two could be

Very confusing. There is a death on SP in 2007 for a John Dunnet Alexander Manson born around 1912 in Kirkcaldy mother’s maiden name Alexander. However there are also two deaths for a Catherine Philp Manson both with mmn Alexander. One in Buckhaven in 1977 age 62 and one in Kirkcaldy in 1986 age 75. This suggests two Manson/Alexander marriages ( although I can only see one in the records).

2 Catherine Phillips Manson births 1st 1908 2nd 1910 both Dysart and 2 John Dunnet Manson births both Dysart as well

There is a death of a Robert Rose Manson in 2009 mothers ms Alexander born 1914 Dysart and a marrige of a Robert Rose Manson and Agnes Cairns Alexander 1910 in Carnwath South Lanark which could be a possibility

One of the other deaths in the Kirkcaldy area with mmn Alexander is Robert Rose Manson born c 1915 died 2009 Kirkcaldy. Looks like he may be a product of the marriage of Robert Rose Manson and Agnes Cairns Alexander who married in Carnwath in 1910. They are also possible parents of Donaldina and Janet Alexander Manson.
