Marriage from scotlandspeople OPR
from "A genealogical and Heraldic History of The Landed Gentry by Bernard Burke".
John is named on the OPR baptism of his daughter Margaret.
John is called John Shedden of Waterlands.
On Shedden.org.uk (now closed) shows this John Shedden b.29 Nov 1758 as son of John Shedden and Jean Marion Hamilton.
On scotlandspeople there is a marriage of John Shedden and Marion Hamilton m. 17 Mar 1755 in Dunlop. Also there is a birth of John Shedden b. 29 Nov 1758 in Dunlop but his mothers name is not recorded.
Therefore it is not possible to confirm that John Shedden and Marion Hamilton are the parents of the John Shedden that married Margaret Young.
The marriage of John Shedden and Margaret Young in Dunlop in 26 Nov 1777 is on scotlandspeople as is the birth of their daughter Margaret b. 23 Nov 1778 but there is no way of being certain that this is the person who married Jean Gilmour.
Margaret is named on the OPR baptism of her daughter Margaret.
