Hi Maggie, welcome to RootsChat  :)

You don't give any dates in your quest which is important.

How accurate is your info?

Do you have the BC of your grandparent, the child descended from James Leask & Mary Weir?

I can't find a marriage for James Leask / Mary Weir.

Does the BC of your grandparent state Mary Leask, Maiden Surname Weir or simply Mary Weir?

The BC of your grandparent should give a date & place of marriage if they were indeed married?

What's the name, date & place of birth of your g/parent descended from James Leask & Mary Weir?

We need some more info. from yourself, where born / married / who to / where / where died & how you have arrived at them but have no parents names for them?
