William Ross was born March 27, 1823 in the parish of Knockbain on the Black Isle in Rosshire, Scotland on the property of Sir Ewan Mackenzie of Kilcoy. William's father was Andrew Ross, a farmer. Andrew's first wife was Margaret Young who died in 1830. William, their only son, was seven at the time. Andrew remarried and in 1832 he emigrated to Upper Canada where he was still living near Coburg in 1870. William remained in Scotland under the charge of his grandmother until he enlisted in the 42nd Regiment Royal Highlanders in 1839. In 1852 he married Mary Davidson. On May 10th, 1854 he became Queen Victoria's piper. His wife died in 1861. It is known that they had one son.

David Niven's return to England

David Niven as a 2nd Lt w/ the Highland Light Infantry (1932)
back row far right:

Being Scottish, Niven requested assignment to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders or the Black Watch; then jokingly wrote on the form, as his third choice, "anything but the Highland Light Infantry" (because the HLI wore tartan trews rather than kilts). He was assigned to the HLI, and his comment was known in the regiment. Thus Niven did not enjoy his time in the Army. He served with the HLI for two years in Malta, and then for a few months in Dover. In Malta, he became friends with Roy Urquhart, future commander of the British 1st Airborne Division.
