Before creation, no compatible James Young or Janet McGregor profile was established. The live search produced many same-name Scottish profiles, but none connected to Mary, her spouses, or the record locality. The resulting profiles are James Young (Young-78888) and Janet McGregor (McGregor-7704). Do not merge them with a same-name profile without evidence of continuity.
