Hi Ev

I think you are right to consider David and Ann Stark as parents to William. Janet Mortimer looks to have been born in 1802 in Dundee (Parents Samuel Mortimer and Barbara Cathro if I am looking at the right entry). With their son William born in 1804 would be in the age range to fit for husband to Janet Mortimer.

Ericabrenda, just being curious, was an occupation given for William Grieg on his sons' marriage certificates?

Hi again everyone,
Thank you for all the info. I had not considered Ann Stark and David Greig to be parents of William  as I didn't know of their existence. I must stop working late at night when my brain doesn't function. It does make sense. Why would one give their daughter a middle name of Stark if it didn't have some relevance. As you also point out,  the age is right also.
Thanks also for all that info on the Greigs at Crolls Land.
Yesterday I thought I had it all rapped up, and now I have a completely different picture. That's great, thanks again.

Ev,
Forgot to mention. Williams occupation on his marriage certificate was sailor, but on his childrens birth certificates it has, fisherman and ships master. The fact that David Greig was also a Ships master indicates that William followed in his fathers footsteps.

Thanks again,
