BP1934 (Munro) show Katherine as wife of Gilbert Gray of Skibo but the information provided by Hamish Macfarlane's data shows Gilbert's wife as Christian Munro, not mentioned by BP1934 (Munro), and Katherine as having married William Baillie of Dunean. We support the Macfarlane data as BP1934 (Burton) identifies William's wife as Catherine, the 3rd daughter.
