Our McGregor family from Christine McGregor's family album.
Judging by the apparent ages of Janet (7/1/1899) and Gordon Stuart (b.7/10/1900), this family photograph must date from about 1902/1903.
Only Donald (b.1887), the eldest child of Paul Miller McGregor and his 2nd wife, Edith Whalley, seems to be missing.

John Malcolm (b.1882)

Emma Ida (b.1879)

Christine McGregor provided this picture with a list of names written on the back. She said
"I have question marks for the back row...
John Malcolm may also be William Donald,
and Alexander Duncan may be John Malcolm."

However, I suggest that the back row are most likely to be the surviving children of Paul Miller McGregor and his first wife Elizabeth Bradford

This picture, from Carol Butler's family album, is of Donald McGregor's wedding to Florence Woodward on 26th August 1914. Carol, a grandchild of Donald and Florence, provided the names of the Woodward family written on the back.
I have tried to identify the McGregors. I may be wrong about Duncan & Austin. I'm a bit more confident about JF Lawrie #5 in middle row and his wife Laurie Helen McGregor #9 - they were the same height.
Of Paul Miller's seven sons. five joined the army. Duncan (aged 36 in 1914) may have been too old for active service, while Gordon (14 in 1914) may have been too young. All seemed to have survived the carnage,
