"Sir John Login was born in Stromness on 9 November 1809, to John and Margaret Login. His father was a ship-owner and agent, whose early death, along with the loss of some of their ships, left the family in difficulties but John's mother Margaret was a redoubtable woman, of good Orcadian stock - she was a Spence from Kirbuster in Birsay and her mother was a daughter of Edward Groundwater from Orphir. She became the Hudson Bay Agent in Stromness and kept the inn, across the street from the famous Logins Well. John wanted to go to sea but his parents didn't want him to go."

Margaret married John LOGIN, son of Mitchal LOGIN and Isabel OMAND, on 21 Jan 1809 in Stromness, Orkney, Scotland. (John LOGIN was christened on 20 Jan 1761 in Stromness, Orkney, Scotland ¹ and died on 10 Aug 1829 in Stromness, Orkney, Scotland.)
