you need to use http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ to find births and marriages, and it is a pay-per-view site ... you have to buy credits to see search resuts and there are no subscriptions

the free search results, if you search for the name and an approximate date under old parish registers, will tell you whether there is likely anything there

it would be very difficult to find emigration to Canada in that era, I believe

do you have them in Canadian censuses?

Yes, he was in E Williams in the Canadian census ,and that's their grave stone. I have no proof that he came from Cromdale etc parish or if his parents were Alexander cruickshank and Isabel Ross. However Alexander is a family name.
Lewis first child was born in Canada 1850(Angus)
Thanks for looking.
