Looking for any info on John Kellock and Anne McKay- married 1761 in Kennoway

[sdgillen]

They had two kids (all that I've found) - Margaret (1762) and Andrew (1768).

Someone on ancestry.com has them born in Kennoway and has their birth years listed as 1736 and 1740, respectively. However, I can't find any records on Scotland's People for either one.

'Someone on Ancestry' has probably been guessing.

If it's not on Scotland's People, you need to contact whoever it was who put the tree there and ask them where that information came from.

Never trust anything you find online, especially trees submitted to Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, GenesReunited, Geni, Wikitree, Geneanet or any other commercial web site, unless it's an image of an original document. By all means use it as a basis for further investigation, but don't take it as gospel.

Have you looked at the originals of the baptisms to see who the witnesses were, if any were recorded?

I think it's possible Ann/Anna may have variants Doy/Dowie/Dawnie/Daunie?

All Kennoway, they don't overlap & are consistent, maybe a new Minister?
