Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
Henry II Douglas Laird van Lochleven 1395-1468
Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?
William Douglas Laird van Lochleven 1st of Drumlanrig 1375

I was never convinced on this line.

I have always had a problem with my ancestor line. Notably John Douglas 1687-1767. everywhere I looked I was being told that he was the son of a William Douglas and Grishild(Grisel) McKeand. This William was either the 4th Earl of March or 4th of Mouswald. This John was born in Penninghame in 1699 and seems to be the John on the William timeline for the U.S ancestors. It always seemed incongruous to me that his grandson John 1715-1768 should purportedly die a pauper in Yorkshire (not sure on that yet). Having completed further research I have found John's parents and his paternal grandfather. 

John Douglas 1715-1768 m.Alice Fisher 1712-1806 in Thornhill, Leeds Yorkshire.

Parents were John Douglass 1687-1767 in Ayr, Jonet Murdoch b. 1684. From parish records of his birth it also lists a John Douglass and Robert Murdoch as grandparents (as far as I can tell). So I think that is where I am now with my 8th, 9th and 10th Great-Grandfather

I will add new material as it comes.

Welcome to our community group, Trevor.

I think you may have been loking at a Dutch or German site, 'van' translates as 'of'. Henry was Lord of Lochleven, an ancestor of the Earls of Morton.

I am interested in learning more about the Douglas family in Gateshead, and their origins.

Can you help?

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

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?
