You can read about Barony parish here -

It comprises a large swathe of what is now the city of Glasgow.

I had ancestors called Thomas Welsh and Jean Ballantyne who were married in Barony parish in 1795 and I'm pretty sure that she was the Jean born in Glasgow in 1775 to James Ballantyne and Christian McGregor. Birth records for their various children make clear that they lived in the Calton area, which is fairly central but still part of Barony parish at that time.

Hi Scotty
I take my side of the family from Able McGregor,
I still cant enlighten you any further, I have recently opted for John and Ann being Duncan's (1835 ) most likley parents, even then its still a bit iffy, I too have a copy of Duncan and Rebecca's wedding certificate and this Hugh guy is a bit of a nuisance,
how ever there was a McGregor family in Hartlepool had a Hugh committing larceny in 1856, Im now wondering if the Hugh travelled down from Scotland at the same time as Duncan his younger brother ?
I know one thing it makes a right mess of my family tree when I keep chopping and changing.
Gordon (1900 - 1971) started me on this anoying trip.
