The Douglas Archives

A collection of historical and genalogical records

To be paid annually at the bridge of Drumfres, one red rose - is there a story here?

Came across this when doing some light reading of the DUMFRIESSHIRE AND GALLOWAY Natural History and Antiquarian Society 1907-8

Ref: Gleanings of Old Dumfries and Galloway. Page 133

Seems to be a very reasonable rent for the whole of Galloway

Best regards

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?
