John Lunan McGregor Telford appears on FreeBMD web site listing born December quarter 1889 vol. 10b page 399 BERWICK DISTRICT. Berwick on Tweed is officially in England, on the border with Scotland and disputed territory in the past. It comes within FreeBMD records which cover England from 1837.
Scots records would be in Scotlands' People lists which I have not accessed.
UK births deaths and marriages (England,Scotland,Wales) appear in Family Search.Org listings, very many earlier than 1837.
I found Lunan McGregors of Scotland listed in there but not John Lunan McGregor Telford's birth.
With the reference to John Lunan McGregor Telford Dec, qtr 1889 vol 10b page 399
listed on FreeBMD you should be able to acquire his birth certificate which should give his parents names.
I was not able to find a George Telford who linked, several that might,
one was a George Blackie Telford born Berwick 1884 vol.10b page 414
I also found a George Telford who was married in 1933 in Berwick which is a bit late
as a possibility for marriage but not out of the question!.
Berwick registration office covers quite a wide area I believe.
Looking through McGregorsI found a William McGregor who married a Janet LUNAN
and a John Lunan McGregor was born in 1863 at Alyth, Scotland
Following that up I found a great many McGregors in Alyth area (Perthshire)
I suspect these are related in view of the unusual combination of names.
Good Hunting! and I shall keep looking through our own papers and records for further links.

ps: since writing the above I have been contacted by another Telford researcher in UK who has further information about your ancestors and links in with the Telford Rootsweb group.
