Looks as though James parents should be Peter & Elizabeth.

Jean's are Archibald & Rebecca.

Can't see a marriage in Dumfries that would fit with or without Peter to an Elizabeth/Betty Stewart.

Yes, rather curious as they were both from Largs.

Marriages 1807 20th Dec Malcome & Wyllie - Archibald Malcome Private in the Ayrshire Militia and Rebecca Wyllie from the Parish of Largs, presently in this Parish, were three times proclaimed in order to marriage on one sabbath, and married on the 21st of said month.

20 Dec 1807 is a Sunday.
