  Marriage Notes:

No marriage record for Alexander Mowat and jannet Bower has been found in the Scottish old parish registers.

The baptism of their son Thomas is in the Prestonpans parish registers, so a lawful marriage must have taken place before November 1726, as the baptism narrative does not indicate any irregularity:
