My tree regarding the Hoggans start with David Horn B 1753 His daughter Janet Horn B 1779 M Robert Hoggan B 1778, They had a son Matthew Hoggan b 25/05/1819 Denny, married Elizabeth paton 07/09/1844 at Drumclair Slamannan. Matthew Hoggan died 18/12/1889. He also married Margaret Alexander in 1869 and this is where it gets confusing for me as Margaret Alexander was also married to James Gray. Put it this way my brother is called Matthew Hoggan Gray.

Matthew Hay Hoggan and Elizabeth Paton, Matthew's first wife, had a daughter Elizabeth Hoggan b. 1851 who married William Gray b. 1849, a child of James Gray and and Margaret Noble Alexander (Matthew's second wife.)  Is that the connection you are looking for?
William Gray was also married to Elizabeth Straiton, and married Elizabeth Hoggan in 1880 in Denny.  Elizabeth Hoggan was firstly married to John Brown, Dec. 31, 1868, and then to William.  I don't have any children for William and Elizabeth Hoggan, but do have four children's names for his marriage to Elizabeth Straiton.

Hi the above are all part of my family, my Grandfather was Matthew Hoggan Gray who married my grandmother Jeanie Raeburn in 1921 his Mother & father were Elizabeth Hoggan & Wiliam Gray. I had tried very hard to find out who William Gray was married to before he Married Elizabeth Hoggan i knew she had been married to John Brown so now i have another link its good news for me. William Gray & Elizabeth Hoggan in the 1901 census for Denny had 5 children Willie, Jeanie, bella Scott & Matthew
