IGI Marriage: James Gregg bride's name: Janet Mcharg: 29 Jun 1765: Ochiltree, Ayr, Scotland: M11609-2: Scotland-ODM
OPR OCHILTREE: 'James Gregg in parish of Straiton and Janet McHarg this parish gave in their names for proclamation on 29th June 1765'.
This James Gregg is only assumed[ADG1997] to be the James who married Janet McHarg in 1765.
Also the children of this assumed marriage are listed only because no other parents can be found of a suitable age group. Further investigation may well prove these relationships incorrect.
