There are some conflicts between sources on the date of birth. Going with the most precise, which is also from a registrar - so assuming also the most accurate.

EMBO/P113/F9.2.10 suggests DoB about 1859

Letter to TULLOCH says married on 24/Mar/1892 at 29, which puts birth between 25/Mar/1862 and 24/Mar/1863

Appears on the 1861 census as a 2 year old.

Some records Show a birth date of 24/Dec/1889 however, there was only one Donald Cumming born in 1889, and his birth was registered on 24th December 1889 so I believe they are the same person.
