There is a birth of Alexander McLeod to Donald McLeod and Mc Gilandrus (perhaps another form of the Gillanders name) in Tain in 1780. I would be interested if you find any details getting back to this birth.

Ann Gillanders has a brother John Gillanders who stayed in Scotland...so on Scotland's People you can look him up in the 1891 census and the 1901 census and you can find his death certificate. It will tell you his parents' names...father William which you know and Mother not known as yet. You also know that John was born in Inverness and an aproximate year of birth [around 1844-46] so you can go through Inverness Old Parish Registers for a son John born to William Gillanders[who was a timber merchant] 2. You also have John Gillanders as a Widower in the 1881 census, so his marriage certificate will also have his parents' names. 3. If the William Gillanders in the 1881 census is the correct William, you now know to look through the Urray Parish records for his birth and perhaps his marriage.
