Hi, I too have Lewis Davidson & Janet Walker in my tree. My notes say that they were "in this parish" & not "of this parish" which does indicate they were not born there. I see nothing unusual in them being married in Udny, Lewis was 26 years old, and most agricultural labourers moved up to twice a year in their jobs. Remember that the baptisms in the OPR's are from the Established Church of Scotland & the Walker's may have been members of another church. Also the records may not have survived.
I am descended from Anne Davidson & John Thomson. Anne was the daughter of Lewis Davidson (Senior) & Margaret Birnie, & therefore a sister-in-law of Janet.
Regards,
