Hullo all. I am seeking information concerning John Peter who married Ann Peter in the Parish of New or East Kilpatrick in 1761. Based on a dearth of any earlier data relating to New Kilpatrick I suspect he may have moved to the area from elsewhere. The nearby parish of Mains seems to have been a centre where many Peter and Peeter families resided however, while potential parents can found there, I am unable to come to any reliable conclusion. I would be grateful if there is anyone who can help me with John Peter's ancestry.

Not sure how you ended up here (Angus) but the Peter's of Old KP have been around for a very long time. There are over 1,300 marriages from 1600-1800 recorded there. However it looks like Birth records however didn't survive per 1760 which is perhaps why you think he came from elsewhere.
