Thanks once again  for the info. I think McGregor /Buchanan will just have to remain a mystery - one more possibility is that the Buchanan  Mclay couple emmigrated!

I have more of them now shame theres no Phillimores to be had.

Thanks again

I have images of both marriages John McLay to Janet Buchanan and Moses McLay to Janet Buchanan, in 1740 and 1772 respectively, then all the children of Moses are with Janet Mcgregor - it is weird. Maybe it is one of those mysteries that will never be solved!

My best guess is Janet B dies and he remarried and the marriage was not recorded or they just pretended to have married elsewhere

Thanks again

Thank you. I didn't check the IGI, but used Scotland people, the big problem is that there are several children listed for the right timescale to Moses and wife Janet McGregor.

I think I may have to look outside Scotland for a marriage or emigration etc., maybe there were two Moses McLays as well

Thanks for the help

Stirlingshire / Moses McLay

Moses McLay  b. 31/7/1715 is  my 5 x Great Grandad. I have found a marriage to Janet Buchanan on 25/11/1740 in Killearn, Stirling. However later records show that all his children were by Janet McGregor.

I can't find a death for Janet N or a marriage to Janet McG., I think I have tried every combination of names.letters etc that I can it's driving me mad. I did wonder if perhaps the 2 ladies are in fact one - possibly Janet McGregor Buchanan or Janet Buchanan McGregor?

Can anyone help me at all?

Thanks in advance

I have just found the sentence for larceny on Ancestry 3 months and twice whipped. Would there still be court records anywhere?
