Janet Douglas' parents (b. between 1791-1799) in Logierait, Perthshire

I am lookinking for any information on Janet Douglas' parents (b. between 1791-1799) in Logierait, Perthshire.  They may have been Alexander Douglas and Isobel Forbes. Janet Douglas married Peter McInroy in Oct. 1824 in Logierait, Perthshire according to the information I've found.  Janet is my GGGGG maternal grandmother. Any information on Janet and/or her parents would be greatly appreciated!

v. James DICK.

Daniel Douglas, a labourer aged 32, from Cragganfearn, Logierait, Perthshire, emigrated to New York, departing from Greenock on the William 4 July 1819

That is all I can manage. maybe this last one might be a starting point? If you could find him in Scotlandspeople, then that might link to others of that era?

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?
