[edit]

I'm very inexperienced at editing, so I will make my comment here, and ask that someone else makes the correction. I noticed a slight discrepancy, as follows:

"When his elder brother Alexander died childless in 1664, Gregory inherited Kinnairdy Castle, just south of Aberchirder, Banffshire. Alexander had been murdered.[6][7] The following year in February 1655 he married Jean Walker, with whom he had fifteen children...." "Gregory moved to Kinnairdy Castle with his wife and children as soon as he inherited the estate and lands from his elder brother in 1664."

Obviously, 1655 did not follow 1664! Since the next paragraph notes that he already had a wife and children, I conclude that he was, in fact, married in 1655, not 1665. Note: I'm trying to help, not snipe. Thanks!Kurtreedk (talk) 23:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Kurtreedk, I have corrected it. Well spotted! SagaciousPhil - Chat 05:42, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
