I have detached parents as age at marriage is unlike.

However I do not believe parents are James Galbraith and Elizabeth Johnstone as the location of Midlothian is unlikely. Also a James Galbraith married a Mary Scoon in Midlothian which would indicate a different James. So for now the parents of this James remain unknown

Hi Joelle, Think we have James attached to the wrong parents.

Those sources are from Midlothian not Campbeltown
Yes James born Midlothian 15 Aug 1652 Parents James Galbraith and Elizabeth Johnstone. Archibald who married Margaret Johnstone also has son James born 1659 but dates don't fit with the other details on here. Archibald c1632 and James c1619 may be brothers.

Well I know something is not right here (because of his age at marriage) but it’s nearly 200 miles between Campbeltown and Midlothian. I think we need more information.
It looks like he married when he was 12. That can't be right...
