Please can anyone assist. I am looking for more information on Alexander Macdonald and Annie Munro from Edderton, Ross-shire around 1871. He was the stationmaster at Edderton at the time. Their son, John Macdonald was born 1871 and went off to fight in the Boer war in 1899. John then took up a position at Town Clerk in Bulawayo, Rhodesia. He came home to his father (Alexander) in Fochabers in 1919 due to ill health, and died there on 30/08/1919. Annie Munro was already deceased, but Alexander was at his sons side when he died in Fochabers.
I would be grateful for any bmd information on Annie Munro and Alexander Macdonald.

Possibly Alexander's birth ???
MACDONALD ALEXANDER ALEXANDER MACDONALD/CHRISTY SUTHERLAND 0 02/11/1840 101/ 20 75 Kiltarlity
Two other Alexander MacDonalds were born in Kiltarlity in 1840, in March and May, but the November one above is more likely to have his YOB as 1841 on censuses. There was also an Alexander McDonald born Kiltarlity in August 1842.

Thank you so very much Andy, Abby, Argyll Gran and everyone else who has replied with leads. I am so excited to finally have something to go on. I have found some genealogy sites to be so confusing and gone around in circles for month - I can't believe you found some information so quickly. I think your records may have hit it on the nail.
If any of you can give any direction on how I can move to the next level of finding Annie & Alexanders respective parents bmd details, I would be indebted to you.

Alexander's parents' marriage??
MCDONALD ALEXANDER CHRISTIAN SUTHERLAND/ 07/01/1830 038/ 30 30 Latheron
Actually, I'm not at all sure about that. It's the only marriage on SP with the right names - BUT Alexander's sister Ann was born c1827, and Margaret (listed in 1841 census above) was born 1820.
Here's Margaret's birth:
MCDONALD MARGARET ALEXANDER MCDONALD/CHRISTIAN SUTHERLAND FR323 (FR323) 0 10/06/1820 101/ 20 4 Kiltarlity
Also the marriage is in Caithness, not Inverness-shire.

Had a look at the marriage certificate. You're spot on ArgyllGran with Alexander's parents. Father Alexander was a Mason. Both parents deceased.
Ann's parents were John Munro, Mason and Ann Munro ms Munro (deceased). Both witnesses were named Donald Munro (very helpful!).
Alexander's abode is only given as Inverness and Ann's Alness.
Alexander aged 24 and Annie 26.
