Have you looked on ScotlandsPeople for a possible birth or the marriage of his parents?

Can anyone help? I'm trying to find out when/where he was born and died.

The information I have on him was from his marriage certificate.

John Ross(iron turner) married Martha Harkins on 06 July 1892 in Greenock West, Renfrewshire, Scotland.

His parents were Alexander Ross and Isabella McDonald.

From doing previous searches I've managed to trace, who I think is him, on the census.
*Stayed at 50 Shaw Street, Greenock in 1901 Census
*Stayed at 19 Antigua Street at the time of marrying in 1892
*Stayed at 19 Antigua Street, Greenock during the 1891 Census
*Stayed at 19 Antigua Street, Greenock during the 1881 Census
*Stayed at 20 Cathcart Street, Greenock during the 1871 Census

Can anyone help??
