Dav,
I have a copy of Janet Cameron's OPR birth entry (26th May 1767), but no information on her marriage. My great x5 grandfather is Janet's brother William (b1775).
I have a marriage of a David Cameron and Anna McKenzie in Petty on 7th March 1758. The only record of a birth of a David Cameron in Petty I could find (on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) is for 5th November 1738. His parents were William Cameron (alias McKeddie) and Helen Denune.
This is so far back I guess it is difficult to be certain that these were his parents but I am curious about the alias of McKeddie.
Also I tried to search for Helen Denune as it does not seem like a common surname and came up with was a birth in 1708, in Petty, with father Alexander Denune, parson of "Pettie". There was also a birth in 1706 of an Ann Denune in Petty with the same father.
This page (http://www.electricscotland.com/HISTORY/cairngorm/52.htm) mentions an Alexander Denoon as minister at Petty who was "deposed for swearing, drunkenness, and other faults".
I have the images from the ScotlandsPeople website for the David Cameron and the Denunes if you are interested.
