As you have the year of birth for each of them, you could look for possible deaths on Scotlandspeople. If they died after Statutory Regisration began in Scotland in 1855, then the death certificate will state if they are or had been married. The informant may also be a family member. Scottish death certificates give the names of the parents (if the informant knew) so you will know if you have the correct person.

Scotlandspeople is a pay to view site with no subscriptions available.

1st of all must thank you one and all for passing on the info if I don,t Mrs Grumpy well get grumpy. To Mrs GRUMPY, don't take bets with me!!!, Sounds like u have had a bad day,I wish u well and it can only get better.
Sorry it has taken this long to get back to all. Without you people, I would not have gotten this far, The info u pass on is very helpful (what sites to use). I have Been away, I live in Perth Aust, As I'am a truck driver (deliverying mining equipment to the north) and got caught in the floods with the Cyclones. I don't know where you all are from,( Mother Country or Penal Colony). Once again thank u

Mark, so glad you have come back.

The 1841 and some later census records can be viewed free at Freecen - just google it. to see the originals of these you have to pay at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov Credits cost £6 for 30 and 1 credit to view search results and 5 to view / download a register entry for births, marriages and deaths. That is the site that you need to use to come forward from David's siblings.

Scottish certificates (after Statutory registration began in 1855) give the following info

Births give parents names, father's occupation and the date and place of parents' marriage.
Marriages give names of both parents of bride and groom including the mothers' maiden surname.
Death entries give parents names including mothers maiden surname and names of all spouses, providing the informant knew the details

Hope this helps and good luck with your research.
