Statutory registration didn't begin until 1855 in Scotland. If he died after the 1851 census and before registration began in 1855 then all you can hope for is to find a burial record.

Hi, he was born Edinburgh and lived in Barony in 1851, his mother was Elizabeth, but died before 1850 where my gr gr grandfather has married Alice Annan (he lied about his age on his 3rd wife too) Yes! I have tried looking for a death but no luck, perhaps he left the country..William was the brother of David Bisset and Elizabeth Inglis Bisset..Thanks
