There is no recorded marriage of a George Allan and Margaret Fife in the Parish registers at this time and as Margaret was the Mother in Law to the author of the "Logans of Kilbirnie" William Logan and was alive at the time he wrote it, I have assumed that his information is correct and that the Parish records are incorrect; married John Law (530), son of John Law (529) and Janet Fife (528), 16 Jan 1809 at Kilbirnie Parish, Ayr.
