If they used the Scottish naming pattern, you would expect the first son to be named after his father not her father.

The names continue with Lewis Alexander b 1889 ,,his nephew was John Alexander 1917. If Lewis was Alexander's son (in Cromdale) his brother and grandfather were both John. There is no Donald in the family tree. .??

I'm trying to work out if Alexander Cruickshank at Burntown,Knockando, Invernesshire,m to Jean Ross 1832 could be the widower of Isabel Ross, with more children?

I don't think that Your Lewis is the son of Alexander. The birth year is wrong and Alexander's Lewis is with him in Scotland in 1851.

Your Lewis gives his birth year as 1819/1820. Alexander's Lewis was born 1823.

Ok thanks for that

From the age at death of your Lewis, the only Lewis birth posted that fits with the age at date of death is Lewis son of George and Mary McGrigor.


EDIT

Who are the McGregors listed with the Cruickshanks on the 1881 census? Is Peter a cousin of Lewis?

Lewis daughter Mary m Peter McGregor . His parents were SAMUEL McGregor and Ann cruickshank but I don't know where she fits in the tree.

I just wonder if Peter is related on Lewis's mother's side but of course it may be co-incidence. There were plenty of McGregors around. Bit of a co-incidence too that Peter's father married a Cruickshank.

Anyway, I think this may be the parent's of one of the Lewis Cruickshanks in 1841
