 I don't take all I find on Ancestry as fact but some I do find interesting, as you say documentation as evidence is needed.....

By marriage contract I meant the record of payment collected prior to marriage, I found that on scotlandspeople, no witnesses named so no help there.

I looked up the baptism of John son to William and Agnes but find it hard to read... was William a servant? and if so where?? also I cannot read the second witness name..
I do appreciate your assistance, thank you

I think Allan and haughmill run together to make Allanhaughmill.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
