Have you looked for her on the 1911 census to establish if she had any children at that time?

I did have a look but wasn't sure which one was her as they married in Edinburgh so not sure where they were living.

There is this birth

ROSS
GRIGOR
M
1911
128/2 8
Inverallan

Of course, both names are common enough it could be any old Grigor ROSS

regarding Jane Grigors marriage, i noticed that my great grandmothers name was not on her certificate. it was another woman by the name of Grigor, M.S different too. i know its the right certificate as her sister was a witness and Janes husband was a witness on her sisters marriage in 1916. Its very confusing as Janes parents married in 1879 and Jane was the 1st born. The marriage was in St Giles in Edinburgh yet her parents lived in Duffus all their life.

When did her mother die?
Do you mean the Christian name is incorrect as well as the maiden name.
Do you have Jane at home up until 1901?

I’m just trying to get an idea of the likelihood of her getting her mother’s details wrong.

Her mum died in 1934 and  her father in 1925. Jane Ross signed her father's death cert. I tried to put the cert in here but I can't, file too big it says. I put it on a site for Burghead where they come from and someone said it's Nettie ( Helen ) M.S Muir. I have searched everywhere for a match but nothing. Someone else said Jessie is short for Nettie ? I've checked in case it was her aunty or some other relative , but nothing.

Normally Nellie is another name for Helen and Jessie is another name for Janet Can I just check Jane's parents were Margaret Davidson and John Grigor and she had a sister Lilias who married Francis Johnston in 1904 as there are 4 people who died with the surname Ross mother's ms Grigor including Lilias Ann Gordon Ross and Margaret Davidson Ross
There is a marriage between a Margaret Davidson and John Grigor registered 1880 in Fraserburgh
In 1891 census in Duffus this John and Margaret are living with  John age 70 and Isabella age 60 possibly John's parents with children
William 14
Jane 9
John 8
Mary Ann 6
Isa  4
James 1
Margaret 0
Is this the correct family
