Sasine deed 1484 for Robert Elwald (Elliot), Redheugh, Larriston, H...

It should be noted that land of 'Angus', Archibald 'Bell the Cat Angus', of Redheugh (29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redheugh), Larriston ('Lock the Doors Lariston'), Hartsgarth (Robert Ellot of Lariston, married to the Bauld Buccleuch's sister built a tower for his...). anyway Buccleuch and chief 15 wanted to kill each other previous to Border Pacification.

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?
