I too am trying to get further back in my McGregor Tree, my McGregors are from Auchtergaven, Logierait, Culltintogle, Callander...my 3 times great grandfather Charles McGregor born in Caputh on 1786 was head forester for the 4th Duke Murray at Blair Atholl Castle, his father John born 1758 in Cullintogle was also head foresters as was Charles son John born 1823. Charles was married to Helen Low/Lowe, their children were Janet, Mary, Elizabeth,John, Helen, Patrick,Jean, James, Ann and Margaret all born between 1817 - 1835. Where it gets confusing is, Charles father John was married to Mary Young but I can't find much info on Mary Young born 1760, John's parents which I don't know if this is where it goes awry and maybe into another McGregor clan Donald McGregor alias Stirling (Achrakarran, Perthshire) born 1733 married to Mary McLaren born in Balquidder 1730, this seems to be where the connection to the Balquidder McGregors come about but as we all know, some ancestry families connect people who are not necessarily connected to that family line and it goes off fact. Donald's father I have as Patrick McGregor alias Stirling born 1702, married to Janet Ferguson....Patrick's father I have as John Iain Og Murray McGregor (1st of Glencarnoch) born Glencarnoch, Balquidder 1668 and married to Lady Catherine Campbell born 1674 .
My worry is, is this definitely my family line or has some of this information on Ancestry through other families ancestry gotten the McGregors confused. I just want to know if my Charles McGregor is of same lineage as this John Iain Og Murray McGregor. I have many other brothers, sisters etc on my family tree but I would love to know all the children of each of these parents I have named if they are indeed connected back to John Iain Og Murray McGregor just so I can check them off as some of the children down the line seem to be born in different Perthshire areas, some of them born in same areas.
Any information grateful received thank you.
