40 years looking for parents of John McLeod, b. 1854 or 1855 in Dyke, Elginshire
My advice would also be to go to Scotland’s People. After 1855 all marriages and births were supposed to be registered. You could get his birth registration, and also check some of the census records.

Thomas Smith b 1854 in Shetland
Try the Canadian, USA and Australian census for after 1871. Those were the most common places to emigrate, I think. I would start with the 1881, then the 1891....worth the try. Good luck, Goldie
