    I have begun the process of bringing together articles about the Douglas families of Australia.

    Having started, I am now taking a break!  If there is anything that you would like to see in this section, please let me know.  It may be a couple of weeks before I can get back you.

    All contributions are, as you know, welcome.  The home page is a bit thin at this stage, but I hope to develop it further - with your help.  At the moment it is lurking in my templates folder while I work it up. In time, it will be given more prominence.

    I hope that some clansmen and women may have an insight into my family in Australia, and also in New Zealand.
    My Uncle Ronald had a few wives he married - and a few he did not. I am hoping to track down some lost cousins. Well, I hope that they are not lost, but the connections are.
    Ronald George Sholto Douglas was born in 1926, in the UK. His first two marriages were in the UK, and I am in touch with my cousins from them.
    He married Heather Grey Law in New Zealand in 1983, as her second husband. I dont think that there were any children of this marriage, but would be happy to be told different.
    He has a relationship with Anne, known as Nell, in Australia, possibly in St Lucia, Queensland and had one child, possibly more. I record two, but that has been challenged. (Jeremy; Alistair, bc1970). She had been married previously with two children apparently brought up as Douglases.
    There were other relationship(s), I think, but whether I have cousins from them, I don't know.
    Ronald served in the British Army during the war, and thereafter had a wide variety of jobs, including selling speed boats and mining and selling opals.
    He appears on the elctoral roll in 1977 in Ryan, Queensland and also in Moreton, Queensland. [Is that possible?]
    Some of the family may be in The Netherlands, my search area is broad.
    The photograph is of Ronald and Heather in 1983.
