On a torn page in the Ayr parish register a child is recorded to have been born in 1756 to James Greg & Janet Henderson.
OPR AYR: '......... ....... to James Greg and Janet Henderson his spouse born 18th and baptised 19th February 1756'.
Unfortunately the Name and gendre was missing but an OPR marriage entry for 1775 at Ayr was found by Matthew Greig[Giffnock] for a Margaret Greg married to William Baird.
The OPR reads 'William Baird sailor and Margaret Greg daughter of James Greg Dancing Master gave in their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage and after proclamation they were married accordingly on 22nd July 1775'. They also named their first child JAMES. It is most likely the marriage refers to Margaret daughter of James and Janet, the birth entry of which is torn.

No child births other than James has been found to William Baird and Margaret Greg [ADG 2005]
