<p>John had two brothers named Harry and William Ogilvy, and two sisters Dorothy and Virginia.</p>
<p>I have been to Rothbury, and the nearby village of Thropton, and I have seen Susannah's grave in the little cemetery there.</p>
<p>Thanks for that though!</p>

<p>• John Wintrup married Anne Douglass in 1834, at age 24 Anne was born in about 1809, in Rothbury, Northumberland, England.<br/>They had 6 children: George Wintrip, Mary Ann Wilson (born Wintrip) and 4 others.</p>
<p>• There appear to have been two young Richard Douglases in the 1841 census - a 15 year old shepherd and a 19 year old who is a Male Servant in the Township of Warton, Rothbury district. One of these may have been the Richard Douglas who received a sentence of hard labour for sheep stealing at Michaelmas Quarterly Sessions at Alnwick, 20 October 1880</p>
<p>• John Kirkup who married Mary Douglass @ Rothbury'1842.</p>
<p>• Apparently there are many Douglasses in the churchyard at Rothbury.<br/> <br/>• The Will of William Douglas of Rothbury , Northumberland, Dated 30 March 1821 is Held by The National Archives, Kew</p>
<p>I can see no direct connection to your family, but perhaps there are some clues here to help further research.</p>
<p>Yours aye,</p>
