Hello from Robert Douglas Glover

Hello all, I am new to the forumI am researching any and all Douglas lines in Argyllshire and the adjacent shires. My earliest known DOUGLAS ancestor is Kenneth Douglas 1745-1804, and his father (his name is yet to be discovered) has been remembered by successive generations since, as having fought at Culloden on the Jacobite side.

Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
I am researching any Douglas lines in Argyllshire and the adjacent shires. My earliest known ancestor is Kenneth Douglas 1745-1804, and his father has been remembered by successive generations as having fought at Culloden on the Jacobite side. Kenneth's father is not yet identified. The Muster Roll of the Jacobite Army was compiled after the battle of Culloden by the Hanoverian Army under the command of the Duke of Cumberland, and it records just seven Douglas names. The accuracy of the Muster Roll cannot be known and should be expected to contain some errors and omissions. My Gt Gt Gt Grandmother was Mary Douglas and a child of every following generation, either male or female, has proudly borne the name of DOUGLAS.
Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?
Kenneth Douglas 1745 - 1804

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
