Have you not got the 1872 marriage cert from Scotlandspeople as it would give full details for her parents

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

Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950


birth: 19 Dec 1820

parents: John Skeoch, Margaret Logan

name: James Skeoch
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 25 Feb 1821
baptism/christening place: , STEWARTON, AYR, SCOTLAND
birth date: 19 Dec 1820
father's name: John Skeoch
mother's name: Margaret Logan

That looks promising Maddie, maybe they are grandparents

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.

maybe this marraige fits in somewhere ??

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
