She could be either of those. Many of my family have the middle name that was the surname of their mother or other relative so Logan might be the key. She married Robert Nelson in 1872, again in Stewarton

John Skeoch

The mothers surname in the 2births that have been found are Gray and Kirkland. If my theory of mothers names being used as middle names, is right, then its neither of them. Neither of those names appear anywhere as middle names. Then again Logan is an unusual name for a girl.

That looks promising Maddie, maybe they are grandparents

could it be possible that the James Skeoch father of Margaret is this person
