I am trying to find Alexander Thomson I the Scottish 1871 census. The information I have is born approx 1865 in Parton , Kirkcudbrightshire. I have no information regarding parents. I have found him as a servant in the 1881 census so no help there. Thank you Susan

Birth death and marriages would be on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
It's a pay to view site, not subscription. You can also pay to view the census images - other sites only hold transcriptions.

Look on Scotlandspeople for Agnes's death between 1891 and 1901 and John's after 1901. The death registrations will give you the names of their parents, including the mothers' maiden surnames if the informant knew the details.
You can narrow your search reults by putting in an approximate birth year and the possible County.
Possible for Agnes?

Do you have his marriage cert? As Reggie said, if he married in Scotland it will have both parents' names on it, to confirm that we are looking at the correct family.

I can find Alexander on the 1891 census but not after that. You say you have traced him back through his children and his marriage - you really need to get his marriage cert otherwise you could be tracing the wrong family.

Not that it's really anything to do with your Alex, but you can find an 1890s map of any Scottish county showing parishes at: http://www.electricscotland.com/history/gazetteer/
