Hi Margaret
Have you tried a search on Scotlands People? (see link at top of page) It is a pay per view site but it is free to search to find out if there are any likely candidiates!

If you man was born 1883, bear in mind that he may have left home by 1901...

Best wishes
Lesley

Hello Margaret,

Is this the family in 1891?
Grieve House N Balfern, Kirkinner, Wigtownshire
Alexander Marshall, 38, head, born Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Grieve
Mary Marshall, 38, wife, born Kirkinner, Wigtownshire, Grieve Wife
Mary Marshall, 17, daur, born Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Grieve daughter
John H Marshall, 13, son born Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Scholar
Alexander Marshall, 11, son, born Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Scholar
James Marshall, 9, son, born Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Scholar
David Marshall, 7, son, born Glasserton, Wigtownshire, Scholar
Margaret Marshall, 5, daur, born Glasserton, Wigtownshire
Hugh Marshall, 2, son, born Kirkinner, Wigtownshire

In 1901 they are in Kirkcudbright, but James is not with them, as I'm sure you know:

Dromore Cottage, Kirkcudbright
Alexander Marshall, 48, head, born Mochrum, Wigtonshire, Shepherd
Mary Marshall, 48, wife, born Mochrum, Wigtonshire, Shepherd's wife
Alexr Marshall, 19, son, born Mochrum, Wigtonshire, Farm Servt
David Marshall, 16, son, born Mochrum, Farm Servt
Maggie Marshall, 15, daur, born Mochrum, Wigtonshire, Farm Servt
Hugh Marshall, 12, son, born Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Scholar
Agnes Marshall, 10, daur, born Kirkinner, Wigtownshire, Scholar
Robert Marshall, 7, son, born Glasserton, Wigtonshire, Scholar

Here are two possibilities for James in 1901:

Balmangan, Borgue, Kirkcudbrightshire
James Marshall, 19, Serv, born Mochrum, Wigtownshire, Ploughman on Farm
(the head of household is William P Gilmour, Farmer Dairy Farm)

Torhousekie Cottage, Wigtown, Wigtownshire
James Marshall, 19, Serv, born Drummore, Wigtownshire, Dairyman Servant
(head of household is James McLauchlan, Dairyman)

Do either of these fit with what you know about James?

All the best,
Sarah
