--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source Information:
Census Place Fitzroy, Carleton, Ontario
===============================
That census suggests that Donald was born around 1825; and there is only one Donald Dow birth in the IGI that is near in date; but in Edinburgh rather than Skye-
2. DONALD DOW - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Birth: 20 JUN 1827 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
so unlikely to bne the correct one.
============================
This may be there marriage banns; but again some distance from Skye-
1. DONALD DOW - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Marriage: 05 SEP 1846 Lecropt, Perth, Scotland
2. DONALD DOW - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Marriage: 06 SEP 1846 Dunblane, Perth, Scotland

Whilst familysearch is very helpful in getting started, you should confirm the Scottish events at-
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Credit/Debit card charge on-line
It is a most comprehensive site for Scottish BMD and Census records, all directly from "official" sources, so very reliable.
Take a look at the Index-
