Alexander McDONALD married Letitia PATERSON on 19 Oct 1841 Greenock
See Scotlands People for marriage record

Letitia (Paterson) McDONALD died age 64 in 1884 Port Glasgow. (Her death certificate should give you further family information) Mother’s maiden name is McCartney.

There is a death in Port Glasgow in 1882 for an Alexander McDonald age 61 which might be the correct man . Mother’s maiden name is Craig.  There is also a possible one in Greenock in 1887.
Letitia’s death  cert. should tell you if her husband has already died.

Disregard all spelling variations and use st*r*t when searching on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
