Elizabeth's parents were John Travers born around 1860, And sara Derrhohn, born around 1860, again i don't have exact years.

You can search Scottish BMD on Scotlandspeople, £6 for 30 credits

I'll have a look on the census's for you too or is this where you got the dates from?

You'll need the website

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Look for the parents (Duncan/Mary and John/Sarah) marriages first. They will give you both sets of parents and help you to get back further.

After you have some dates/areas/occupations I(and you dont already have ancestry) come back on here and i'm sure people will help you to look up census details.

Hope thats of some help
