Notes about James Galt

1. I found this marriage in the book "Vital records of Scotland, including Beath, Aberdeen, Stranraer, Inch, Ochiltree, Riccarton, Sanquhar, Kilmarnock" downloaded from LDS Library. Dates are wrong so this is possibly a generation back from John Galt (See Media page 70-124)

2. There is no record of birth of child 1. A search for deaths in Kilmarnock brings no good dates either!
