JAMES HOGG, Ploughman

JANE RENTON

1881 at Halls, Spott, Haddington. It is unusual that there are no children found named after the father's parents. But Walter's death on 1911 was registered by a son, John (this boy John was 3 months old in 1861) who said his father's mother was Janet Wood. . Is this a mistake or was there a second marriage. Walter's marriage cert in 1861 definitely names his parents as John Cowan and Janet Torrie.
