Perhaps you are familiar with Moray's Heritage Site.

Margaret Ann Cramond or Crammond - maiden name Milne born about 1876 - parents John Grigor and Mary Milne.

I have further info on Margaret Cramond or you can check for yourself at the above site - such as date of marriage, where and by whom and husband's occupation.  I could not fine anything on this site for a John Grigor & Mary Milne marriage.

Torrygirl  Note:  You have noted that the parent of Margaret was JAMES and this site states the name was JOHN GRIGOR.  Maybe this will help if you look for a different forename.

Thank you!  I really appreciate you taking the time.

Could you give me a note of the website please?  I cannot find it

I think the site that torrygirl is referring to might be this one http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp

I've had a quick search but couldn't get it to come up with any results (must be doing something wrong!)

Regards.

Found her, I was searching under maiden name Milne but she is showing Grigor. Her reference no. is NM028522. You will see that her father John Grigor has a reference to Farmer Bogend Lhandbryde which will hopefully help you in your searches.  So jury's still out as to whether John and Mary Milne were married or not?

Regards.

Lhanbryde is 4 miles east of Elgin

Just google Undiscovered Scotland Lhanbryde and read all about it.

Lhanbryde is in Moray, see www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lhanbryde/lhanbryde/info.html

Also on multimap, www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=57.6348&lon=-3.2209&scale=25000&icon=x
I notice that just SE of Lhanbryde is a place called Bogton ( I wonder if John Grigor's birthplace - if that is what this reference is - or maybe it's where he farmed, should be Bogton not Bogend?

Thank you.  I shall dig around and see if I can find ref to a farm in Bogton or Bogend.  Strange I cannot find them on census returns.

Thanks again
