This has got nothing to do with anything, but as someone might be looking for the Greggor family sometime in the future, I thought I would post what we picked up along the way while looking at John Callister. There seem to be plenty of Benjamin & Ann Greggors. I’m not connected to the Greggors or that Callister family. Obviously easily led astray…
