SCR FR1061 Marriage at Colmonell
Marriage to Marion Anderson could be the 2nd marriage for John following a marriage to Janet Turner[P263] who is on record as having a child Jane Gregg[P265] in 1836. Janet may have died in childbirth as no further children are on record - thus a second marriage for John Gregg to Marion Anderson. Children's names follow family names.
